Randal Mark ”Randy” Bell Webb
Randy Bell, 50, died Tuesday, October 7, 2003, after many years of heart related health problems. He was born in Van Wert, OH on October 29, 1952, to Harry S. and Ilo M. Bell. Randy moved to the Tri-Cities in 1954 where he lived until his death.
He spent his childhood in Richland and attended Richland Schools.
He was employed by Bechtel and worked on construction projects in Africa for three years. He later worked as a laborer for various Hanford contractors. He was eventually forced into early retirement by disabling health problems.
Randy bought a small parcel of land in Franklin County, planted apple trees and began a second career as an orchardist. Randy, his business partner Robert Hendrickson Jr., Randy's wife Nancy McMurray worked the orchard and marketed their fruit as ''Orchard Boys and Girl.'' He enjoyed working in the orchard but eventually sold it in 2002 and became fully retired.
Randy married Nancy McMurray and had twenty happy years together. Their son Tyler Samuel Bell was born on October 23, 1983. Randy was a life-long baseball fan. He enjoyed his time spent coaching youth baseball. He and his son Tyler spent hours together playing catch and improving Tyler's baseball skills. Randy and Nancy eventually grew apart and divorced, yet maintained a loving relationship as a family.
Randy was from a large family and nothing meant more to him than his relationships with his parents, bothers and sisters. Randy brought other relatives such as in-laws and nieces and nephews into his close family circle. Randy loved to cook and often scheduled lavish meals with big family gatherings. His many friends looked forward to dinner invitations from Randy.
Randy was generous to a fault and had a giving spirit. He was generous in his relationships with his close friends. He loved dogs, cats and other animals. He always had a special dog such as Zeke, Libby and CoCo Bell and his 7 current cats.
Randy loved to hunt and fish spent many hours in the field with his lab Zeke and his friends.
Randy felt blessed to be able to renew an old friend Debbie Lee. Randy and Debbie shared three wonderful loving years together. They traveled together, attended concerts and especially enjoyed riding their motorcycles. Randy loved Debbie deeply and felt lucky their relationship had come at this point in his life. Randy developed a close relationship with Debbie's children Zack, Leah and Ashia. Also Randy and Debbie enjoyed traveling to visit their son Tyler in Curlew and Seattle. Randy treasured the new relationships with Debbie's children, parents, brothers and sisters.
For the last couple of years Randy became very active and a valued member of the Richland Fellowship. This relationship strengthened Randy as well as providing a service to the Fellowship. Randy became active in counseling young adults who had found trouble in their lives. Not only was Randy's counseling valuable to those he counseled, but also provided Randy a great deal of satisfaction.
Randy was preceded in death by his mother, Ilo M. Webb, his father Harry S. Bell, and stepfather Lionel F. Spider Webb; brothers Dennis O. Brown and Terry Lee Webb.
Randy leaves behind his wife Debbie, his son Tyler and his stepchildren, Leah Lee, Zack Lang and Ashia Lang.

Randy was my Dad’s partner in agriculture, he fucked him over. He stole my antique electric guitar and new electric guitar when I was 13 years old molested me as a child and tried to groom me and get me to do cocaine with him outside an N/A meeting I was 14. He sold my guitar ms for money for heroien/coke while his wife and kid who he neglected because of drugs were trying to believe in him. But my dad made a deal with him take a tiny percentage of his money from selling his portion of the orchard, and when “uncle” Randy died me and my siblings were to get an inheritance. Never happened, held my tongue long enough His wife and son as far as I know knew nothing about his sickening tendencies. But they did know that my dad who is still dying was treated like nothing, and his children were left behind. He spent the last years of his life doing dope and cheating on his wife until she left him and he got with one of his drug addled side pieces. So in all honesty this man wasn’t a man but rather a privileged pervert who got away with everything.
Sometimes, a shared song can speak to our hearts.
HEALING OIL by Crystal Lewis
Lord I am tired
I’m losing sleep
I struggle with breathing
It overwhelms me
Lord I am thirsty
I don’t want to eat
My body is aching
For peace
I’d like to run again
Or even just walk
Or just see the ocean
One more time
Lord I look forward
To sit at your feet
I know what you’ll do for me when we meet
I can feel your healing oil
Running down my brow
I wouldn’t trade another lifetime
For how I feel right now
Lord I am weary
I know that you’re near
Take care of my family
While we’re apart
And I thank you for giving me
This life that I’ve had
Now I look for the comfort
Of your arms
I can feel your healing oil
Running down my brow
I wouldn’t trade another lifetime
For how I feel right now
These lyrics could be viewed from Randys perspective right now. Our prayer is that they offer courage and support during the times that you are missing him. The only heart problem he has now is that it cant contain the joy that hes experiencing being in the very presence of our Lord Jesus Christ.

RANDY WAS A VERY SPECIAL GUY THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL–I LOVED HIM DEARLY. TO ALL OF YOU THAT WERE CLOSE TO HIM IN THE LAST PART OF HIS LIFE, I ENVY YOU BECAUSE RANDY IS A SAINT TO ANYONE THAT KNEW HIM. I WILL TRY TO MAKE IT TO THE MEMORIAL.
Sharing the time Randy at about age 7 or 8 along with other little boys in the neighborhood painted light blue paint on our dog, Lucky… and there were many other dogs in the neighborhood had the same new blue coat!
Say “HI” to your Mom for me. I’m sure you’ll find her in the old Neighborhood Coffee Clatch in the Sky with my Mom.
Till we meet again…
Sympathies to all the Webb family from your family in WV and FL. Bonnie Webb Lanham, Chas., WV Betty Lanham Ranson, Sissonville, WV and Sue Lanham Jacobs, Melbourne, FL
Randy had so many friends all his life. Everyone loved Randy’s company. I enjoyed Randy’s great personality like most people did. I will miss him and his mischievous smile! I know your Mom will be so happy to see you Randy!
It’s been a year today that you physically left. Although it has been a difficult year, we have gotten through the first year with the memories you gave us. You are still remembered and talked about daily. Your memories still keep us laughing through the hard times. Especially the Prime Rib on the floor at Christmas. We all miss you and love you. Rest in Peace.

Randy was one of the greatest people to come into my life. He brang my mom, me, and brother into his life and we couldn’t be more thankful to have been able to spend as much time with him as we could. He was an old spirit with a good heart who was brilliant and wise beyond his years. I thank god for everyday that he was down here on earth with us. And i know he still is here with us and always will be.I miss him with all my heart.
sincerly,
leah lee
My sister, Debbie, and I had just talked about us 4 growing old and all being together. Randy, our brother, will be greatly missed until we meet again. Then we will all be together forever young. We have some great fun memories we will hold dear to our hearts. Our prayers go out to all Randy’s family.
I know you must feel as I do when I say it’s hard to believe Randy is gone. He was so tough and at the same time so sweet. I’m so sorry for you all. I had some of the greatest times of my life with Randy. He had many wonderful assets. One of the most admired was his willingness to give, when he had, as you mentioned sometimes even to a fault…but it was a fault that helped so many as he did. I am so very thankful that I knew Randy.
May you feel my prayers and know that God comforts you in this loss.
