Remembering Peter Shearer

Peter was the seventh and penultimate member of the Shearer family to have been educated in Malvern, stretching two generations from 1913 to 1964, all born and raised in Argentina of Scottish ancestry.

After leaving Malvern, Peter returned to his native Buenos Aires and joined the then Bank of London and South America, a Lloyds Bank subsidiary. He was sent to London and spent virtually all his career working overseas, particularly in Madrid, Nassau, Houston, Costa Rica, India, Argentina and Uruguay.

He spent a very happy retirement in La Cumbre, a small village in the Cordoba Hills of Central Argentina, where he enjoyed his golf and many hobbies.

Peter is survived by his beloved wife Carol, sons James, Colin and daughter Emma, as well as his two granddaughters and two grandsons. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Peter died on 15th March 2023, aged 80.
