BARRY BELL It is with sadness and heavy hearts the family announces the passing of our brother, son, dad, uncle and friend Barry Bell on Sunday, December 26, 2004 at Selkirk General Hospital.

Barry worked at different jobs including B B Contractors and Krynski and Associates until he got hurt in 1991 leaving him a paraplegic.
