William R Bell Sr, 90, of Springhill, Florida, passed away on December 17th, 2023, peacefully at home. He was born on May 12th, 1933, to Sara and Andrew Bell. He was the youngest of three children. He had two very full chapters of life!
After leaving the Navy, he married Yvette Keroack and raised three boys Kenneth, Allen, and William Bell II. He was a good dad and provider, sharing the love of outdoors, the ocean, and travel camping.
His 2nd chapter started in 1975 when he divorced and met Regina Monaco, both working until retirement together, enjoying camping and RV travel across the country, including Alaska. Their most cherished years of home ownership were in Randolph, Vermont, which involved snowmobiling and spending time outdoors. Both were very active in German American social club events and enjoyed over 40 years of marriage, moving to Springhill, Florida, in their last decades together. Regina passed on August 31st, 2023.
He will be laid to rest at Bushnell Cemetery in FL with military honor on January 9th 2024

I am proud to have been able to call him uncle Bill and cherish those memories of his visits to Ohio and our visit to Connecticut when the children were young. RIP Uncle Bill.
