  • (Long tribute thank you everyone for reading) Well where to start.... Craig Bell is my Afi and first off anyone who meets him, knows him is an acquaintance to him will say "that man would do anything for anybody in a heart beat" and it was true; he loved to help people that was his biggest reward in life (seeing the smiling faces of anyone especially his grandchildren) me included. He loved to be silly. Oh man did he ever. His signature joke is "pull my finger" and oh boy could he ever fart. He was a a happy man, but if you dugged deep inside he was a hurt, confused, in pain, broken man... Tough as steel on the outside, he always put special loved ones, family, friends, first; he just wanted peace and happiness. That man could cheer you up just by walking into the room; nobody can compare. Though he is not here anymore physically he is mentally and emotionally. He left the earth with a lot of specially, meaningful words, I love him for many reason. I always will he was my Afi and my biggest inspiration. "Keep one foot in front of another and just keep moving" R.I.P Craig Bell Love Caitlin Pokornik - Posted by: Caitlin (Afi (grandfather)) on: Feb 21, 2016
