I knew Bear for quite a number of years, mostly by way of wine. But over those years I got to hear stories of the cabin, the old truck - and the new truck, his dogs, and fishing, plenty of fishing. I knew about "Spaghetti night" when he'd want a good Chianti or Zin and I heard about Cellars that go haywire and cook a prized stash of Bordeaux futures, and everything in between. I am glad I got to know him, and he will be missed. I'll raise a glass in his memory Saturday midday on the 21st, while I'm working here at what I dare say was his favorite wine shop. To all of Bear's friends let me say: Friendship is the wine of life. Let's drink of it. --Dave
