I remember Tubb Bell as one who loved to see people laugh. I enjoyed being a classmate of his. He told me once, " William, take care of your pretty wife." That was how he was. I was saddened to hear of his passing, but I think of the good times we shared laughing together. May God strengthen the family and cclassmates.

The other night my daughter was putting together this Wenonah Class of 73 Scrap Book(Photo Album) to give me. I walked up on her and was stun. I said where did you get all these photos of me and Tubb. She replied I took them when I attended your 35th Class Reunion with you. The very next day my niece in Alabama texted me this Birmingham News Article title "Wenonah coach Emanual Bell passed away". I immediately told my daughter "Emanual Bell" had passed. She siad "Who is That?" i said "Tubb". She then let out this "OH MY GOD NO". RIP "Tubb" Roy Reese, and as you called her "Baby Girl"
