My Uncle Henry is so very loved and missed! He was always my “Elvis-cool” Uncle. From his amazing pompadour hairdo to his gentle way of defending his nieces from the often ornery spirit of our dear cousin Tracy, he embodied a larger than life rock-star presence. Although Aunt Margie’s loud and dynamic scolding of “Tracy!” could temporarily deter a tease from escalating, Carolyn and I could always count on Uncle Henry to stop him in his tracks. (Rest assured, that same teasing did manage to give us a thicker skin, so no hard feelings cousin).
I was always proud to call him Uncle, but never so much as when I learned he was the owner of a grocery store! That was monumentally cool in my book! But, perhaps, coolest of all was seeing the love and affection he had for my Aunt Margie through the years. We were so blessed to witness such a beautiful marriage—one of steadfast commitment and solidarity no matter what life threw at them!
So, although Uncle Elvis (Henry) has left the building, he will never leave our hearts. I look forward with love to the heavenly party we’ll share together one day in the presence of our heavenly Lord and Savior.
Rock on Uncle Henry! Grace, Love, Peace & JOY, Janelle Tapphorn Langlois

We were privileged to know and love Henry Bell as a devoted Husband, Father, and Grandfather. We were able to attend the wedding of his granddaughter Ashley to Trent this past September and enjoyed the time we got to spend with Henry and family during this short visit in Wichita. We have many memories of visiting Henry and Margie over their many years of marriage, and will miss his humor and optimistic outlook on life. Our girls, Janelle and Carolyn, always enjoyed the vacation times to visit the Bell family and play with their cousin Tracy. I will always remember meeting Henry and his Dad Marion when they arrived in Grinnell, Kansas for Henry’s wedding to our sister Margie in June 1968. We knew they were a perfect couple, and despite the many health issues that Henry experienced over the years, they remained a devoted couple through the good and difficult times. We will miss Henry very much, but are comforted to know that he is with his Heavenly Father after a full life of dedication to his family.
