I just ran across this. It breaks my heart. Captain Sharer was my Commanding Officer at NAS Dallas. Captain. Sharer was a not only a great CO, but a great man. I was a PR2 at the time. I was at a local bar and Captain Sharer recognized me and bought me a beer. We swapped sea stories and had a wonderful conversation about education. At the time I was finishing up a BBA in business. Captain Sharer, suggested I get my MBA. I went back and got the MBA, and a few years later another masters in Transportation. It changed my life. What a wonderful man. I'm so very sorry for your loss. Our country lost a great man, leader, and friend. May God Bless each of you. You may never know how many sailors lives he impacted for the better. Best CO I ever had.
