Riggins Anthony spent last night with you, Mom-mom and Pop-pop. Wearing green for the Eagles and one day, he’ll be able to visit AC and play some of your favorite slots ❤️

So very hard to believe it's been three years.  I miss talking with my dear friend, Tony!

I just found out about Tony’s passing  we worked together at the USHR.  He was a great friend and person.   His jokes always had me laughing.  He will be terribly missed.   Until we meet again my friend.  RIP

I am so sorry for your family’s  loss. 

I just saw the notice in the Washington Post today (Apr 20). I’m so sorry to hear this! Tony was my district manager at the downtown Crown Books stores. We went through everything together, book signings, inventory, crazy Christmas seasons, you name it. He was a ton of fun and a good friend. My sincere condolences go to his family and his partner.

I just learned of Tony’s passing today.  I went to Georgetown with Tony.   While I only attended freshman year, we have remained good friends.  I will miss him.  Hugs and love to Neeshan.

Tony was a force of nature and his love 
 made me feel so special. He was fun and caring and outrageous.  I am alternating smiling and crying as I look through old pictures of us all.




Dearest Bell Family, 
Al and I send our thoughts, prayers and condolences for Tony.  He was a wonderful son, brother, and uncle.  We always enjoyed his infectious humor and funny stories.   We wish him eternal peace.  
Love,  The O'Konski Family 


My condolences to Nish and Tony's family. I met Tony 20 years ago, through my late partner, Chris Abell. Tony was his best friend, and I was privileged to develop a friendship with Tony myself. Such a kind, generous, funny and loyal man. I know he is in Heaven, making wisecracks and causing trouble. He will be missed.

I worked with Tony for many years, he always had a kind word and a pleasant smile. He was our ringleader for the lottery pools would always say this is our night we are winning the big one today. I want to look at the glass as being half-full and say Tony you finally won the big one, no more sickness no more pain... peace & blessing to the family.     Garland

The Bell family was always part of childhood memories. The Bells and Glasers were good friends so we had many family gatherings and the parents took many trips together.
Tony was my mom's godson and he was loyal to her as son would be. He visited her every time he was in NJ. There were flowers, cards, for all holidays..
I also received emails with pictures of all the new babies to the extended Bell family. He was so happy and proud.
And then there were emails about his health battles. At first pretty grim but then hopeful. I'm so sorry that  a very kind, thoughtful  man is no longer with us. Love, Ginger

Tonight I will raise a glass in your honor, my friend -- not unlike so many others that we raised over the past 46 years -- but you won't be there to share the toast -- except in spirit -- Too many memories to try and finds words for -- weddings (mine) -- births (your goddaughter's) -- some that can't be disclosed here --and the infamous Bicentennial celebration at the US Capitol with Jane Fonda --- and so many others --- Farewell, my friend -- and rest in peace..........

Tony Bell. Met him in 1974, beloved brother of my bestie Tina. Memories galore. He took Tina & me to a Cincinnati Reds game in DC to see Tina’s hero, Johnny Bench #5. Tony showed us a good time that weekend. We met many times over the years for drinks, socializing, catching up, parties, weddings & funerals. We emailed, sent cards & talked. He was a brother from another mother. Tony Bell, you were one of a kind. You will be missed. Give George a hug for me & hang with him up there. Love, Mia

Tony was my very dear friend from high school. They broke the mold when Tony was born. His quick witt could make you laugh and laugh. We loved our politics from different sides of the isle and he was always quick with his one liners. We shared many happy times together along with my 3 sons which all remember him fondly . He always had a cocktail ready for us on the beach. I will miss him greatly and always cherish our deep friendship.  My love and prayers to Nish and family
 

Tony was an absolute original…and there will never be another like him.  He would make me smile on the most challenging of days and in his most challenging days, he always found something to smile or joke about and still managed to find his way to work on some difficult days.  He fought bravely, with dignity, integrity and always a splash of humor.  Tony had a wicked sense of humor and we bonded instantly over our mutually beloved Eagles.  We so often ended our emails to one another with “Go Eagles!” or “Fly Eagles Fly”…
Well...

Fly Tony Fly
 
You earned it my friend.
Always,
~Dayna


Tony will be missed. His personality, kindness, and joyful spirit was welcoming to be around daily at the FEC. 

Tony was my co-worker and friend at the FEC, and I almost always invented a reason to stop by his desk during the day.  He was outrageous, hilarious, caring, and just plain fun.  He always called me "Commissioner" (I'm not), but then again, that's what he called everyone he liked.  If you asked him how he was doing, he'd reply "tired, old, bald, and fat."  He kept his candy dish full, and he would tear into me without mercy if I didn't take a piece.  More importantly, he posted pictures on his workstation of the children of his co-workers.  He carried himself with dignity as he fought off cancer.  He grieved with me after my wife died last year, and more recently, he celebrated with me when I told him that I was getting remarried.  He rightly advised me that it was important to be happy, and he was delighted for me.  Tony made every day better for me, and I mourn his passing.    I wish healing and peace to his family and friends.  --Stephen Gura

Tony was one-of-a-kind.   He had a magnetic personality and his desk was the "gathering place" for anyone who wanted to chat.   He was funny and had a great sense of humor.  He was kind and thoughtful and remembered my family with cards and flowers for our memorials.  May God bring you to eternal happiness, Tony.
With fondness, Cindy Myers
