I met Troy at the Twilight Nursing Home where he worked when our mother was a resident. He was such a sweet man, always very considerate of the feelings of the residents. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.

Troy Bell was a special guy, a good friend and an ardent Democrat. I have never met a person more loyal than Troy. Loyal to his friends, loyal to his family and loyal to his Party. Troy Bell was as loyal a Democrat as there ever was. It's easy to be a Democrat some places. It is very very hard to be a Democrat other places and Troy lived in one such place. But he never gave up hope and he never quit.
Troy believed in the basic principle of the Democratic Party...care for those who struggle to care for themselves. Troy never had a lot of money but he would give his last nickel to someone who needed it more than he did. I have watched his generosity change the life of special people. I always wished I could be generous to Troy but he would never accept anything from anyone. Troy was a giver, plain and simple.
Troy firmly believed in the power of Democratic change. He believed that people's lives could be made better by logical change in the halls of government. He fought for equality and justice for all. He believed no one should be left behind when there was something left to give of himself and he believed Democratic change could make the lives of others better.
My heart goes out to Troy's family and friends. I was only able to interact with he and Ann a few times a year over the past 20 years, but I can honestly say I left each interaction better than I came into it. Troy's hope and optimism always filled my heart. He saw the best in everyone and believed everyone, including himself, could do better. He had no room for negativity and he strived to the best with what was given him. I always figured if Troy could give so much of himself so could I.
I am saddened profoundly by his death and that of the love of his life. Troy was as loyal to Ann as he was to every friend and family member. I am in no way surprised that they were together that day. They were inseparable and as kind a couple as I have ever met.
My condolences to you all.
My condolences to the girl's parents for their loss I didn't know his wife too well but they will be both missed

I have a lot of memories of Troy as a child and an adult. I used to babysit him when his mother was working nightshift at the nursing home. Then as an adult and I would come home to visit the family, Troy would always stop by and say "hi" and eat dinner with us. When I was cleaning up the family home for sale, Troy came and helped me throw things away and clean up to get ready for sale. He stopped by my home many times in Parsons on his way to/from Joplin to see his sister Kim. I will really miss Troy and his political conversations, the razzing about politics, his impersonations of people and his hilarious sense of humor. Most of all, I will miss his friendship and his true loyalty as a friend, neighbor and community member.
See you on the other side Troy.
love,
Margie Jacot Riggin
