Hi Kevin. I did not see the photos, but it sounds like fire blight. That is not good news. Check out this website:

Help!!!!

My favorite pear tree is under attack.   I have been training a row of 
pear trees as double u espaliers.  Suddenly one of them looks like 
it is at death's door.  The branches have turned dark brown and black, 
the leaves are dry and brittle, some of the stems are limp...it looks 
like it was blasted by a flame thrower.

I placed some photos under the nafex list's file section.   Kindly 
take a look and offer an educated opinion.

Curious,

Kevin, currently a sad rabbit
