RIP. I always enjoyed reading his posts. He'll be missed.

An ode to one of our greats. I will miss him very much.

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." -Luke 11:9
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." -Deut. 6:4-5
"For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; He will save us." -Isaiah 33:22
I may be one of the few on the PM forum to have met the great Bear in person. He is truly one of a kind, and a class act all the way.
While he often played the forum fool, his numismatic skills were first rate. I posted this on the USCF, but it will get lost in the sea of posts there. Bear told me the story of how he made one of the first slabbed MS68 Morgans. He bought the coin raw, had it graded, came back 68 and sold it at auction for a huge profit.
The passing of anyone loved is always tough to take, being around the holidays makes it even rougher imo. Didn't know the guy, but can tell that he was admired and respected here. My thoughts go out to his family in this time of their loss.
To forgive is to free a prisoner, and to discover that prisoner was you.
Always was glad to what Bear had to say. He knew this day was coming and I'm sure he was ready for it. Our prayers are with the family and hope he went peacefully.
