[SyrBear at aol.com]

Harken to these awful words, wail and rend your garments!  Earl Sir 
Bearengaer hinn Rauthi has gone to his ancestors in Valhalla on this 
9th  day of July, A.S. XLII.  Let all pay heed to to the passing of a 
mighty warrior and a person who enriched the Current Middle Ages.

Bearengaer had been a member of the SCA for almost 40 years.   He was the 8th 
Knight of the Middle Kingdom, the 9th King of the MidRealm He was King of the 
Middle Kingdom for Pennsic 3.  He was second Prince of Drachenwald.  In more 
recent years, as ill health kept him from the list fields, he served the 
Kingdom of AEthelmearc by training new fighters, marshaling, being an MOL and 
helping Lady Leah Janette (the Evil Book Lady) run her book business.  For several 
years, he was Grimm's liaison at Pennsic.

Those wishing to honor him, pray for him or confirm his death should present 
themselves on July 14, in Stormsport (Erie, PA) at the Burton Funeral Home, 
602 W. 10th St. A reception will follow at the home of Viscount Alexander and 
Viscountess Rannveigr.  As he had no particular religious affiliation or close 
mundane relatives to be offended, the funeral will have an SCA theme.   SCA 
attendees are requested to wear garb.   Since "You can't take it with you" is not 
a Viking concept, people may bring mementos to put in the coffin.

Those who wish crash space or direction should contact Viscount Sir Bear the 
Wallsbane at SyrBear at aol.com or 814-454-3262.
Leah Janette (his lady) can be contacted at bear_janet at msn.com 
or 814-451-0250.
