Mitchell “Mitch” Bell, Southern California and Arizona sales rep for Winco Window Company and owner of Division 8 Designs, died on March 29 of natural causes. Bell was 57.
Bell has been in the commercial glazing business his entire career. Mitchell first started in the stained-glass industry in Los Angeles, moving to open his first business, Moonlight Glass Inc., in San Marcos, California, prior to joining Winco. He started Division 8 Designs in 2015. Bell most recently shared his extensive knowledge of the industry with son Max, who is currently Winco’s representative in the region. Max will continue to operate Division 8 Designs.
Bell is survived by his wife, Jenny and sons Maxwell, Samuel, Derek and Trevor; his daughter-in-law, Sara; and by his three grandchildren, Wyatt, Jameson and Mylah.
“Mitch was a great friend, an expert in his field and a straight shooter,” says Kurtis Suellentrop, vice president of sales & marketing. “He would also spend time sharing his advice and opinions (whether you asked for it or not!) Mitch enjoyed spending time with friends and family riding in the desert. He will be truly missed.”
