I met Bear for the first time when I took my late sister-in-law out to the Rendezvous. My brother was being an à** and she needed a break. Bear was working the bar that night. We got our drinks and went to the back to shoot some pool. Shortly after that we left, a creep wouldn't take a hint! The next night I went back to the Rendezvous by myself. Bear was working the bar again. As soon as he saw me he immediately started apologizing for the drinks the night before, and offered to make my next drink anyway I wanted it! I explained to him that the drinks the night before we're fine; and explained to him about the creep that wouldn't go away. He told me to just let him know if someone was bothering me just let him know and he'd take care of it. I never had another problem. 🥰 I'll miss you big guy.
I remember it was Thanksgiving at my mom's (Pattys) maybe 1996, I thought I was gonna try to keep up with Uncle Bear (and Uncle John) drinking shots of canadian mist and well that did not turn out too good for me! So many memories. ..Madison Days, Thanksgiving at my moms, Memorial Day weekend BBQ at Uncle Johns , many Harley rides, you and aunt Vicki's wedding, parties at your house, lectures i needed, he always had a shoulder tocry on , advice to give and when he didnt think was was listening -he sometimes would just shake his head! He had a heart of gold and anyone who knew him , loved him! And he always gave the best Bear Hugs! I Love you Uncle Bear! ....and once again ..forever with your Mama Bear!
