Mark Bear

Sorry to hear this. I never met Mr. Bear, but have had the pleasure of owning one of his cues. A few years back, when I was looking at buying it I talked to him over the phone and he couldn't have been more helpful, even though I was buying it on the secondary market. It is one of the nicest playing cues that I have ever shot with.

I guess by building such fine cues that a piece of him has been spread throughout the country, not a bad legacy.
 
Very sad news! I only spoke with Mark by phone, during the building process of my custom jump cue. Very nice gentleman.
 
I also recall much happiness and beer with Mark.

He was a wonderful friend and an excellent cuemaker.

I am very saddened to read that I will never see him again.

You'll be missed, Mark. RIP, friend.

RIP, Mark.
 
So sad to hear. Finally had a chance last year to hang out with Mark. He was very funny and a genuinely caring guy. Very supportive and encouraging. Thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family. RIP.
 
I have known Mark for many years and this is very sad news. My prayers are with Mark's family. He was as cheerful as ever when I last saw him and gave no clues about his illness. He will really be missed.
 
Sad news indeed. RIP Mr. Bear.

Agreed Steve, way before his time. Mark was a very genuine individual and he very graciously gave me his time even though some of my crack pot ideas about cue construction must have given him nightmares. I will miss his humour and it pains me to think he will never make me another cue. I will cherish the ones I have.

Mark.....if you are reading this.....one word........cinnamon.

Very sad to see him go, a friend of mine told me last night as he and Mark were pretty good buddies. Prayers for his family.
