Bear was a beloved and well-known figure in the Ocean City Fishing Community. As an attendant at the fishing pier, he was always there to greet visitors with a warm smile. His extensive knowledge of fishing, combined with his genuine willingness to help others, made him a trusted source of advice and a cherished companion to all who knew him.
