Bryson Smith Bell departed this world on Tuesday, January 16, 2018, to be with
his Heavenly Father. Mr. Bell was known as B.B. to his friends and acquaintances.

He was born in Mingo Junction, Ohio on September 26, 1933, to the late Frank C. and Corolean (Marks) Bell. He was married 36 years to the former Charlotte Ann Manley who passed away on October 27, 2003. He was also preceded in death by his only son, Bryson Scott Bell, and brothers, Frank Marks Bell and Harlan Curtis Bell.

He is survived by a daughter, Cindy Giles, grandsons Matthew Giles both of Palmetto, Florida and Robbie Giles of Bonita Springs, Florida.

Mr. Bell has resided in Logan County for the past 17 years. Prior to moving back to Ohio he and his wife resided for many years in Punta Gorda, Florida. He was a member of Calvary Baptist church and at one time hosted a weekly men's bible study in his home. Very few persons were aware that Mr. Bell was quite an accomplished pilot. He was the personal pilot for the well-known restaurant chain entrepreneur, Bob Evans. He had the opportunity to advance his education by attending The Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL. He was a charter pilot for Lane Aviation, also flying the southern route for Airtrac based in Punta Gorda Florida. He usually flew the southern route which carried him to Nassau and the Caribbean. He was also active in the Civil Air Patrol in Punta Gorda, in addition to other obligations. Mr. Bell founded four extremely successful companies: Bell Electric, B. B. Electric, B. B. Roto Rooter, and B. B. Insulation and these businesses still thrive today. He was able to retire and spend several years traveling with his lovely wife, Char, prior to her passing. He was a Cub Scout and Boy Scout, and in his adult years a Boy Scout Leader. His hobbies included air boating and a passion for building large scale remote control planes. Mr. Bell will be sorely missed by all who were fortunate to have known him.
