Together they parented two sons, Bradley E (Laney) Shambach, of Millmont, PA, and Gregory L Shambach, of Middleburg, PA.

Lear graduated from Middleburg High School in 1949. He worked most of his life in road construction, retiring from Eastern Industries (formerly Faylor-Middlecreek).

He also was a United Methodist minister for over 40 years, serving many parishes including Freeburg, Dressler's Ridge, and Ebenezer. After his retirement, he was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church, Middleburg, PA.

Also surviving are his grandchildren and great grandchildren: Bethany (Aaron) Zechman of Middleburg, PA and daughters Maya, Macie, and Madelyn; Jeremy (Meghan) Shambach of New Berlin, PA and daughter Scarlet; Natalie Shambach of Mifflinburg, PA, and daughter Dehlia Grace; and Shawn Swinehart of Montoursville, PA.
