I worked with Ken for many years at the Birchwood Inn/Holiday Inn, we had lots of laughs and fun times. Ken's sense of humor was the best and always had a joke to make you laugh. I will miss you, Rest in Peace Ken!! My sincere condolences to Ken's family - Posted by: Angie LeBlanc (Friend/Co-worker) on: Dec 17, 2020

We were so sorry to hear of the passing of our Uncle Kenny, brother to our father, Donald Bell. Our family spent many years back and forth between Winnipeg and Alberta making so many lifelong memories with our families there. Kenny also lived in our community of St Albert for a short time. We will cherish all of the good times we enjoyed with him while living here. When visiting Winnipeg Kenny always made sure everything was organized for us as we arrived to the Holiday Inn. Uncle Kenny will be forever in our hearts & dearly missed. - Posted by: Teresa (Bell) & Don McRae Family (Neice) on: Dec 13, 2020

We often think to back to when we were kids & the Bell Family lived next door to us. We often think back to those times & have great memories of all the Family. I Often think of Kenny lording it over me because he was 5 days older than me. He was a good childhood friend. Our deepest sympathy to the remaining family members.

I send my condolences to the family. He was a fun loving man and we always enjoyed the time we had together. I have fond memories of Don and I babysitting Kenny over the years for mom and dad Bell. I remember many wonderful years growing up with Ken in Winnipeg. Ken stayed with Don and I in Vermilion for a while in early 1970's where he worked as a hair dresser. The chics were lined up outside the hairdressers for a block just to get Ken! They only wanted Ken, and a line up to the hairdressers in Vermilion back then was unheard of! Then he'd come home at night to bed. Now Ken didn't like cats, but the cats sure liked Ken. He'd wake up madder than hell with those cats all cuddled to him on his bed. Over the years, whenever we went home to Winnipeg, we always made sure to get together with Ken. He will be missed dearly! - Posted by: Dorothy Bell (Sister in law) on: Dec 12, 2020

My condolences to Anne, Tammy and Chase, and to all others as well. I loved my uncle Kenny. I will always remember his crazy and off all the wall humor (Bell humor). He always had me laughing. Kenny also had good advice for me in the past when I needed it. I'll miss him. God bless. Chris Bell - Posted by: Chris Bell (Nephew) on: Dec 12, 2020
