Rummy: Many thanks for posting this sad news. Kathy and I had the pleasure of hosting Pam and Alex for a visit a few years ago when they were looking for a larger cruising sailing vessel. 
 
Pam and he were delightful guest in our home for an afternoon visit.

NEW BERN, NC 
Robert “Alex” Bell, 62, of Fairfield Harbour died suddenly Monday, November 
20, 2006. 
 
He was proud of his Naval service as a radioman serving aboard the aircraft 
carrier USS Saratoga. His career included many years at Sweda International 
as service manager. He then went on to his own business building and 
installing computer networks. Alex enjoyed 25 years as a model railroading 
enthusiast. His love of sailing brought him to New Bern. Using his brilliant 
creativity and craftsmanship, Alex gained great joy building his award winning 
Mariner Canvas business. 
 
Due to his love of children, military personnel, and animals, he was very 
generous with many related charitable organizations. 
 
Alex is greatly missed, and remembered, by his wife, Pamela Vana; the family 
of Cheryl and Len Redelsperger; cousins Kathy and Mike Mattingly, and their 
family; Aunt Audrey Rush Harris; and many dear friends. 
 
A celebration of his life will be 4:00 PM, Friday, December 1, 2006 at 
Cotten Funeral Home Chapel with military honors. In lieu of flowers, you are 
invited to share photos and stories of fond memories with Alex. The family will 
receive friends following the service. 
 
The family is being assisted by Cotten Funeral Home & Crematory, 2201 Neuse 
Boulevard, New Bern, NC.
