Nancy & Gordy Hellwig, Gary and the Furniss family: We are so very sad to hear Bear passed away. We visited him at Fountainhead Assisted Living in DeForest. Bear was a honey and always a friend. He gave so much to the community. I'm so thankful I got to visit with him on September 5 at Good Samaritan Society Nursing Home while he recuperated from brain surgery. There are no words to express what a ray of sunshine Bear gave to so many of his friends during his life. He always put others first and was a gracious man. We are going to miss our very dear friend. Rest in peace Bear and soar with the Angels. ❤️
