Obituary of Robert B. Bell

Robert B. Bell, age 72, of Middletown Twp., Media, PA, formerly of Brookhaven, PA, died at home on Sunday, March 9, 2025.  He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from Villanova University.  Bob was a BioChemist Systems Manager in the Clinical Laboratory at Lankanau Hospital for 44 years, retiring in 2017.

Bob considered himself to be a real "foodie", was creative with his cooking and had a passion for dining on foods of all kinds. He really enjoyed music and loved taking the train to University City to attend Free At Noon at the World Cafe every Friday (lunching with all his friends afterward).  Bob and Gretchen enjoyed traveling often to Michigan to visit family, spent many summer days with pals along the Jersey shore but Bob's greatest joy was traveling with friends, to Europe, Mexico, Brazil, Cuba and all around the U.S. Many hearts break at his loss.

Son of the late Roy and Marge (nee Barnes) Bell.
