I have only just picked up the news that Jeff Hudelson (who was well-known by his tag, Bluebear Jeff, and for his excellent blogs, including Saxe-Bearstein) died on 2nd October after a long battle against cancer.
My condolences – and those of all wargamers who knew Jeff personally or via the Internet – go to his family. He will be sorely missed. May he rest in peace.

Very sad news, indeed. While Jeff and I never met in person, through our correspondence over the last four years, I counted Jeff as a friend.

DeleteI think that there are a lot of us in the same boat, and 'knew' Jeff from his blogs and the comments he made on our blogs.
He will be sorely missed.
All the best,
Bob

DeleteI will miss seeing the tag 'Bluebear Jeff' on a comment. I always enjoyed reading them.
All the best,

Sad news, I'll miss him and I'm sure a lot of others will too. RIP Jeff
ReplyDeleteWill McNally,
DeleteIn Freemasonry we always say that a man should strive to live respected and die regretted. I think that Jeff achieved that.
All the best,
Bob
I am very sorry to hear of Bluebear Jeff's passing. I'll be missing him and his chronicles of Saxe-Bearstein.

DeleteJeff will be missed by a lot of wargamers, but one hopes that his blog will continue to be available so that we can re-visit it in the future.
All the best,
Bob
