BELL

Daniel J. Bell was the third of five children born to Eugene F. and Madeline M. (Palmer) Bell. Raised in Holmesburg, Dan attended Lincoln High School and went on to own DB Tile Company. Dan is survived by his sisters, Edye (Keith), Becky, and Amy, as well as beloved nieces and nephews, Christina (Daniel), Kelli, Geno, Tyler (Diamond), Jordan, and Kayla and his great nieces and nephews, Olivia, Jacob, Lucas, Malia, Damian, and Braelynn. He was predeceased by his father and his brother, Gene.

Dan stayed in contact with all of his childhood friends throughout the years.  The Meridian Street Mohawks were there for him every step of the way.

Dan was an avid fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, Flyers, Phillies, and Sixers.  He was on Cloud 9  when the Eagles won Super Bowl LII and he was able to attend the victory parade.  He also enjoyed the yearly Father Judge - Lincoln football game on Thanksgiving with his friends.  Dan followed NASCAR and his favorite drivers, Dale Earnhardt (#3) and Dale Earnhardt Jr. (#8).

Dan had a passion for life. Wherever he went, he met new people.  Dan touched many people with his bright and energetic personality. He loved traveling on cruise ships and visiting Nashville during the Country Music Awards. Dan's outgoing personality and lust for life will be missed by his family, many friends, and all the acquaintances he met during his travels.
