It is with heavy hearts that we share the devastating news of the sudden passing of our beloved father, Chip Bell. In the wake of this profound loss, we are overcome with grief and sorrow, yet also filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the incredible man he was.
In honor of Chip’s life and the countless memories we shared, we invite all who knew and loved him to join us in celebrating his legacy at the Ware Service Home in Chillicothe on Saturday, May 18, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The service is open to everyone, as we come together to pay tribute to a remarkable man who touched the lives of so many.
To honor Chip’s passion for sports, we ask that attendees come dressed in their favorite sports jersey. In tribute to our father’s love for the Toronto Blue Jays, I will be proudly sporting one of his cherished Blue Jays jerseys during the service. While formal clothing is also welcome, we believe that honoring Chip’s vibrant spirit with a nod to his love for sports is a fitting tribute.
As we gather to remember Chip, we know that no celebration of his life would be complete without his favorite foods. In keeping with his culinary preferences, we kindly request that those unable to attend on Saturday raise a glass of his favorite beer, whether it be a Miller Lite or a Labatt Blue, and enjoy some chicken wings in his honor.
During this difficult time, we ask for your prayers and support as we navigate the journey of grief and loss. Your presence, whether in person or in spirit, means the world to us, and we are grateful for the love and compassion shown by our extended community.
Rest in peace, dear Chip. You will be forever missed, but your love will live on in our hearts forevermore.
