Mr. Fearey was a former Oak Ridge resident and worked for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, the predecessor to the Energy Resource Development Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. He was a nuclear materials auditor in the Materials Management Division from June 1962 until his retirement in February 1976.
He was born March 11, 1917, in Detroit, Mich., the son of Maybeth Peck Robinson and Harry A. Fearey. He was a 1935 graduate of Payson High School in Payson, Utah, and attended Independence Junior College in Kansas.
Although a double amputee since January 1936, Mr. Fearey completed his college education in four years, with the help of the citizens of Independence, Kan., his son said. He graduated in 1939 from Kansas State Teachers College in Pittsburg, Kan., with a bachelor of science degree in commerce, and in 1940 did graduate work in marketing at the University of Colorado.
He left Denver in 1942 for Washington, D.C., where he lived until 1953. His employers in Washington included the U.S. Department of Labor, the National War Labor Board, Office of Price Administration, U.S. Navy Bureau of Aeronautics, the U.S. Army, U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Economic Cooperation Administration and the Office of Price Stabilization.
It was in Washington that he met and married
the former Agnes Curry on June 1, 1945. The couple had three children before moving to Joliet, Ill., in 1953.
In Joliet, Mr. Fearey was employed at the Ordnance Ammunition Command as price analyst and internal auditor until coming to Oak Ridge in 1958.
After his retirement in 1976, he ran for the Third District Congressional seat, losing in the Republican Primary. In 1980 and 1982, he ran for Anderson County Court Clerk but was also unsuccessful in that attempt.

He was also a member of First Baptist Church.
Mr. Fearey was an avid sports fan, especially of Oak Ridge High School's football and basketball teams and its track and field competitions, the family said. From 1979 to 1996, Mr. Fearey competed each year in the Swimming Expo 10,000 in Knoxville.
He was able to attend his 60th high school reunion in 1995 and his 50th college reunion in 1989 in Pittsburg, Kan.
As a lifelong traveler, one of Mr. Fearey's goals was to visit every state capital, which he did, with the possible exception of Juneau, Alaska, the family said. He did not accomplish a goal to canoe from Norris Dam to New Orleans on the Tennessee and Mississippi rivers, but in 1984, he, his son and a friend did take a week-long canoe trip from Norris Dam to the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant.
