It was a shock and very sad moment when I learned of the passing of [Judge] Ron Bell. My condolences to Leslie and the entire family. I had the privilege to work with [Judge] Bell from 1989 to 2002 at Provincial Court, then, I moved to Court of Queen's Bench in 2002.
We remained in touch, in some ways. He was a very special human being, caring, respectful, supportive and the list goes on. He would share stories, recipes, talk about his loving mother, who he cares for until the day of her passing; that was impressive to me, particularly because it was during Christmas times. A very loving son. I was also very pleased to have been invited by him to his retirement party, when he retired from Provincial Court. I have great memories of this wonderful man, human being. Was so shocked to learn that he was not well. He was so healthy, athletic. May he rest in peace. May Leslie and his family find comfort in the memories and legacies left by this husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, friend.
