The PGA Remembers . . .

It is with great sadness the PGA of Canada announces the sudden passing of Doug at Hamilton General Hospital on Monday, April 29, 2013 at the age of 84.

The Master Professional was beloved husband of 62 years to Barbara (Ferrier), loving father to Norman and daughter- in-law Jo-Anne. Predeceased by mother Celia, father Charles and sister Diane. Will be sadly missed by sisters Jean (Worrell), Frances (Shields), Marilyn (Fearon), grandchildren, great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephew.

Bell spent 22 years as PGA of Canada Professional at the North Bay Golf and Country Club.

At Bell's request there will be no funeral service; he wanted his many friends to know that he valued their friendship and spent many of his final years recalling memories of times spent with them here and in Florida at Royal Oaks Golf and Country Club.
