Carl and Marybeth sent Larry O'Brien this email to share...
"I am sad to share with you the passing of my brother in law and classmate Ron Bell after a long battle with lung cancer. Ron served in the United States Navy prior to becoming a Burbank Firefighter in 1976. He rose through the ranks as a paramedic, engineer and eventually a Captain. Ron served 35 years with the city before retiring in 2011. He was an avid fisherman and loved the outdoors. There are no services pending at this time. Ron is the brother of Marybeth Costanzo (class of 71) and Gary Bell (class of 65). Rest in peace Ron."
The Burbank Fire Department posted on Twitter yesterday the following notice and photos...
"With great sadness, we announce the death of retired Captain Ron Bell who started with Burbank Fire in 1976. He was a Firefighter Paramedic until promoting to Captain in '96 and retiring in 2011. He loved his family, the traditions of the fire service, and the great outdoors."
