Wesley K. Bell, one of New Jersey's most colorful political figures during more than thirty years in politics, died last night after falling from a billboard he owned in Atlantic County. Bell, who was an Independent candidate for Governor in 2005 and sought the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in 1978, served several non-consecutive terms as Mayor of Stafford between 1972 and 1983. He was recalled in 1983 and lost numerous comeback bids to his successor, Carl Block. READ BELL'S OBITUARY.
