It’s Not Breaking News, It’s Breaking Hearts

Tragically we all lost a great soul yesterday. Randy Bell was so many things and all of them were wonderful. I want you to look at your father, brother, son, and friends because Randy was all of those things and more. What some of you may not know was how intelligent and caring he was. I am not going to speculate on what happens to us in life but I will say this. Life can bring health issues and other problems that are hard to handle.

I want to place this as a memorial to a great man, a selfless public servant, an avid animal lover and protector, a seeker of truth. Someone once told me, “I don’t want to get on his wrong side.” Randy Bell didn’t have a “wrong side” he just believed in the right side. He wanted things to work like they should and he wanted people to be honest.

Anyone could look deep at any of us and find our faults because trust me they are there. I want to focus on all the great things he did and all the great memories and ask everyone that is willing to join me and show tribute to Randy Bell by continuing to work hard in our community. Let us all come together and never let this man be forgotten. The world would be a better place if we could all be a little more like Randy Bell.
