Roger had a way to touch everyone he met.  His kindness, his unique way to capture all was driven by his strong faith.

May his memory be eternal

You were a man that was always a rock for your family. You fought honorably and we admire you for all that you have done. We will miss you dearly and are comforted that we know you are now cancer free and sitting at the feet of our Lord and Savior.

My condolences to the family at this most difficult time. May you find comfort in knowing that there will be a time when all causes of death will cease to be.

Portia,  I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

You were there when I was born to introduce me to the world, you were there to pick me up when I fell, you were there to guide me when I strayed off the narrow road, you were there when I couldn't do more homework, you were there to push me to succeed, you were there to watch me achieve my dream, and you were there to talk to when I needed someone.  I love you Dad and will see you again one day.

Roger, was such a  support to the Galveston Art League, giving so much to us when he was in need of so much. We will be ever greatful for his contributions.  He will be sorely missed.  Our thoughts and love are with Portia and the family.

We have been missing Roger from work, praying for his healing.  We will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers.  Roger was always willing to go the extra mile for me and was truly a great colleague and friend.

We are so sorry for your loss, Portia.  You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Blane and I send our deepest condolences. We so enjoyed the weekend with you and Roger in Galveston when you so graciously invited us to your condo.

Lots of thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

Dad,

You were there when I was born and held me first.  You were there to guide me in the right direction where I strayed off the path.  You were there to help me on those late nights when I couldn't do more homework.  You were there to introduce me to new things.  You were there to encourage me not to give up.  You were there to give me faith and take risks.  You were there when I needed someone to just talk to.  And you were there to see me succeed in life.  I love you always and a part of you will always live in me.

You may be gone from the world, but you will never be gone from our hearts. The memories that will live on in our hearts and that will be past on to each new generation of Bells. We miss you so much. Conducting that train in the sky. We love you
