Ben the Bear died in 1990 at 15 from a heart attack while hibernating. Bart the Bear (the cub), died in 2000 of cancer.

Joe, did you have anything about the passing of great British actor Alan Rickman yesterday? Like Bowie, from cancer and only 69. My kids are crying about the death of the real Professor Snape.

What a loss of the these nice people. I wish the good Lord would leave them with us and take nasty people instead. Enjoyed Bowie, Rickman and Hagerty, all 3. They brought joy and were good people outside of their work, helping others.
