Our condolences to the Bell family & friends with the loss of Mike, may the good memories comfort you. We met Mike through the CT club, he loved to spin a yarn, play a tune, make a brew & tell stories of his youth. A very sociable person with a cheeky smile, we enjoyed knowing Mike & Lyn over the years. Reunited again may they rest easy together!
