Mark Bear

[LeeBledsoe]

Regretfully I must inform the billiard community of the passing of my friend Mark Bear. He passed away yesterday after a long battle with cancer. I know that several of you had been trying to reach him for some time, but he was struggling with his health issues.

Mark thought so much of his fans and customers. Please remember his family in your prayers.

Memorial services will be held Thursday, August 23 at 3pm at Covenant Funeral Home in Fredericksburg, VA.

Mark was a friend of mine. I will miss him. I remember speaking to him when he was first diagnosed and after his surgery. He dealt with things with dignity ,bravery and integrity.
I will always remember having beers with Mark,Boon and Eric. Valley Forge will never be the same.
My thoughts and prayers are with his daughter and family.
