 Additional Information
Last Known Activity:


Since his father died before he was born, Shear was raised in the 1920s and 1930s largely by his stepfather, the skipper of a menhaden fishing ship. The youngster thus developed an early love for the sea.

Following his military retirement, he worked briefly as vice president of Norton, Lily & Company before being selected by US President Ronald Reagan in 1981 as head of the Maritime Administration in the US Commerce Department. After retiring in 1985, he assisted in the development of the Submarine Force Library and Museum in Groton, Connecticut. He died in Groton Long Point, Connecticut at the age of 80.
