Bear will certainly be missed around here. My condolences to his wife and family.
His wisdom will live in those threads that are buried here, and when they are resurrected with some of his wit left behind, we can remember the donuts given electronically to him by all of us. RIP and talk with all those in the past who were the true provenance of your treasured coins. Ah, the stories he'll hear and tell.Paul0 -

When I last saw Bear and Mrs Bear..he was holding her hand like a high school kid.
I told him "I want what you have" , and I didn't mean money.
He loved his wife more than anything....
I hope to have that someday !
I may be close.
He was a wise old bear

I am so very very sad to hear this - I was hoping he would be able to beat his health issues. Abe/Bear was one of the most kindest, thoughtful, positive people on these boards. We here have truly lost one of the best guys in our industry. I am heartsick. I will say a prayer for his family and hope that they know he will never be forgotten as long as he lives in our hearts.

Very, very sad news indeed. Mr. Bear was a sincere and passionate member of this Forum. He will be sorely missed. I am happy for him that he was able to enjoy a last great run building a collection before his health failed him, and will miss hearing him discuss it here. May the Lord comfort his family and friends during this difficult time.0

I regret that I didn't know Abe, though was the beneficiary of many of his wise wits of wisdom on this board...
Certainly sorely missed by those of us here, and to his family, know that his memory will bring nothing here but a smile, a wink, and a nod...
My sincerest condolensces to his family and friends...

Even Though
I knew this was
a possibility, It still
comes as quite a shock.
I just reread our PM's to each
other, and it's like he's still here.
