BOB BELL	

Robert (Bob) Alvin Bell, 59, born October 15, 1949, in San Angelo, 
Texas, to Alvin and Clay Dell Bell, passed away Thursday, October 1, 2009, 
at his home in Coldspring, Texas.
 
He grew up and went to school in Bronte, Texas.  Bob was a proud Texas Aggie, 
and a retired chemical plant supervisor for DuPont.  All who knew Bob knew a 
genuine, caring and compassionate man, who never thought twice about helping 
someone in need.  None of us were ready for God to take him, but He was ready 
for him.  He will be sorely missed by all who had the privilege to call him 
their friend.  More than anything, Bob enjoyed relaxing with his beloved wife, 
Patricia Loper, and their dog, Gizmo.  They spent many a day watching the 
beautiful vista of Lake Livingston from their front patio and enjoying the 
company of each other, as well as their numerous friends and family members.  
Bob was an avid golfer, as well as a motorcycle and boating enthusiast.  He 
enjoyed emailing his many friends and family  and playing computer games.  
He loved to tinker around in his garage and make improvements to their home.  
Bob and Pat could often be seen driving around their neighborhood on their golf 
cart, stopping to say hi to all of their neighbors.  Bob was a wealth of joy to 
his family, and we thank God for the opportunity to have enjoyed his company for 
the time we that we had with him.

Bob is survived by his loving wife Patricia Loper; mother Clay Dell Bell; 
brother David Bell; son Robert Wade Bell; daughter Wendi Bell; stepdaughters 
Sheryl Shelton and Denise Humble; stepson Larry Pate; grandchildren Phoenix and 
Nova Morro, Haley Kovacevich, Damon Bell and Sky Bell, Rachel Shelton Crider, 
Katrina Shelton, Heather Humble, Ethan Pate and Larry Patrick; great-grandchildren 
Damian Humble and Logan Crider and numerous other loving family members.

Funeral arrangements were handled by Pace - Stancil in Coldspring.  The viewing was 
scheduled for Tuesday, Oct 6, from 5 pm to 8 pm, and the service was held at the 
funeral home Wednesday, October 7, at 10 am.
