LINCOLN, N.H. — A popular theme park in New Hampshire is mourning the death of a beloved bear who entertained millions of people over the years.
Clark’s Trading Post on Tuesday announced the death of their 19-year-old show bear, Pemigewasset Avery Clark.
“We lost a gentle giant from our bear family...He was never happier than when he had an audience – large or small,” Clark’s said in a Facebook post. “A natural born clown even from a young age, he felt his job in life was to make people laugh and he loved being the center of attention.”
Clark’s highlighted the fact that Pemi brought great joy to everyone who took in his shows.
“He felt his job in life was to make people laugh and he loved being the center of attention,” Clark’s added. “An entertainer at heart, Pemi had a knack for taking the smallest thing and making something amusing out of it.”
Pemi, who stood 6 feet, 7 inches tall and weighed more than 500 pounds, is survived by his companion, Echo.
“She was Pemi’s best friend, his coworker, and sometimes his pillow. He adored Echo,” Clark’s explained.
Pemi was also remembered as being well-groomed, strong-willed, and proud.
“Tall, dark, and handsome…He was our big, strong, beautiful boy,” Clark’s said. “We are all going to miss him dearly.”
