He was born October 11, 1922 in Hiawatha, Utah to William Bell and Sylvia Alta Jones. The absence of his dry wit and contagious laughter creates a void no other can fill.

During medical school, Bob joined the U.S. Army and following graduation served as an army doctor at Valley Forge General Hospital, from 1948 to 1949.

Following completion of his internship at Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia and a residency at Delaware Hospital in Wilmington, Delaware, Bob returned to Salt Lake City in 1952 to begin private practice. He practiced internal medicine more than 42 years and was affiliated with Salt Lake Regional Medical Center (formerly Holy Cross Hospital). Bob enjoyed traveling, tending his beautiful flower gardens, collecting and creating works of art (he especially enjoyed working with stained glass), Jazz basketball, and professional tennis. Above all, however, he enjoyed practicing medicine. Helping the sick was never considered work - it was his privilege. Bob was the embodiment of a dedicated, selfless, caring generation of physicians. The lives he saved are many; the lives he touched immeasurable. Bob is survived by his sister-in-law, Sarah Anne Jones; nieces, Linda Oswald (Fred), Cynthia Jones, M.D. (Steve Prather, M.D.); nephew, David Jones; his devoted friend and long-time assistant, Sandra McDonald; and loving friend and companion, Dorothy Woolf.

Steele, Harold James Harold James Steele "A Noble Gentleman" On January 24, 2005, Harold died of natural causes at the age of 93. Born to James Hardy and Elizabeth Sumner Steele on Dec. 23, 1911 in Rigby, Idaho, raised in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Harold graduated from Rice Institute and completed his graduate work at the University of Texas (Houston). After graduation, he accepted a job in Washington, D.C. with the Federal Housing Administration. Harold was highly respected in both the business and social communities. He was President and a Director of First Security Bank; Vice President and Director of First Security Corporation; Member of Investment & Policy Committees, Executive Board of First Security Corporation. He also served as President of the Utah Bankers Association, President of the Clearing House Association; President of the Alta Club, President of The Utah Symphony; President of the Salt Lake Chapter of the American Red Cross; Chairman of Ballet West Board, Chairman of St. Mark's Hospital Board; Chairman of the Marriner S. Eccles Foundation; Director of the following: Anderson Lumber Company, Alta Industries, Christiansen Diamond Company, St. Mark's - Rowland Hall School, YWCA, and the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce. In 1970, Harold was elected to serve on the International Board of IBANCO, the parent Board over all international banks issuing Bank Americard - now Visa Card. In 1985 Harold was honored by the Utah Arthritis Foundation as their "Man of the Year". He was presented this honor by former first lady, Betty Ford. During his retirement years, he and his wife, Eleanore, lived both in Indian Wells, California and Salt Lake City. He served as a director of The Eldorado Country Club, as well as The Salt Lake Country Club. Harold was also a member of the Desert Island Country Club (Rancho Mirage, CA), Flat Rock Fishing Club (Idaho), New State Hunting Club, and the Teton Valley Lodge (Idaho). To reduce the magic of Harold's life to his extensive list of business and social accomplishments seems incomplete, since such accomplishments, although important in their works, are only parts of his true life's achievements. We will miss the twinkle in Harold's eye, his unending curiosity and the genuine interest he had for everyone he met. Lucky were the many who experienced Harold's charm and wit, especially at dinner parties or the many social functions he attended. A noble gentleman always, we will remember Harold for the ready smile on his face and the love and kindness in his heart. The full balance of his life was celebrated with his wife Eleanore Eccles, who he married on September 1, 1937. Together they raised a family, traveled extensively, played lots of golf, entertained and enjoyed 67 very good years together. Harold is survived by his wife, Eleanore and his three children; James M. Steele (Linda Wolcott), Sharon Steele-McGee (Stephen), Robin Steele Palmer (Kent); four grandchildren; Stephanie R. Steele, J. Michael Steele, Anna Palmer, Maysie Palmer and one great-grandchild, Ashton Jones. The family would like to thank the team of care-givers who have so lovingly attended both Harold and El, as well as the many doctors, nurses and administrators at the University of Utah Hospital. A family graveside service will be held Saturday, January 29, 2005 at noon at Larkin Sunset Chapel, 2350 East 1300 South. A Celebration of Life will be held at The Country Club, 2400 Country Club Dr. from 1:00-3:00 p.m. All who knew Harold and wish to share in remembering him are invited to join the family at The Country Club. In lieu of flowers, please send a donation to the charity of your choice. Published in the Salt Lake Tribune from 1/27/2005 - 1/29/2005.
