Today lies a heavy heart for me and my friends and definitely Bear's family this week. For a friend of ours "Bear" who passed away from a heart attack Wednesday morning. iIt was through my best friend that provided me with this news this morning who was by his side while paramedics were trying to revive him.
Anybody that new "Bear" knew what a wonderful caring man he was to all that surrounded him, even during difficult moments. He would welcome anyone and everyone over to sit in his little bar in the garage to watch sports, drink or even just to chit chat. He was full of life. Served for our Country! No one certainly his family, me nor Jackie Schindele who was by his side seen this coming.I pray for her as well as "bears" family today and there after.
Only knowing him for the short 5 years, I learned a lot from "his" way of life.
Certainly does shed light on to so many things that we all as human beings take for granted on a daily basis and that is LIFE its self. It is all so trivial and yet we focus on the most things in life that aren't important. I pray for his family during this hard time and the hard times I know that will becoming. It scares me but at the same time, I've got to have faith knowing that God is in complete control.
He was a son first,
Then a brother
A Veteren!!! Who served for our Country!. They want him in the Snelling Cemetary in the cities, but he chose up north instead.
An Uncle
A Grandfather
A Great Uncle
A Friend
A Hero!
Love you "bear" you'll be missed greatly!
