This is shocking for me. I knew Bear from 1989 until about 1996. We dated for about a year in 1990. He was such a fantastic guy. We kept in touch for a number of years after. My 2 girls are about the same age as Jason and Ben. For some reason, I just googled his name and this came up. I am at a loss for words. Bear was so much fun to be around. Please accept my deepest sympathy. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
