The late Robert R. Pell, a printer at the Akron Beacon Journal for 37 years, left his mark in life with dates most all of us remember. He was born on Pearl Harbor Day in 1928 and died the day before the Fourth of July lin 2008.
Bob also is remembed as the person who took care of things. He was the regular retiree at the monthly Beacon Journal Retirees luncheons. He was the regular at the Wadsworth Eagles Lodge which named a park pavilion for him because of his service for more than 30 years as treasurer and publisher of a four-page newsletter for the lodge which he put together six times a year for eleven years.
He also is fondly remembered by Beacon Journal friends and by a nephew, D. B. Atkins of Douglasville, GA. Atkins put his memories into words you can read on the Beacon Journal Retirees website. Just click on the headline to read his story about Uncle Bob which he titled "Next time."
