Charles Fisher

Chuck and I traveled and played together in the Rubber Band circa 1974-1975 (see photo inset). We shared a wry sense of humor, a love of great music and a passion for partying. Those were some of the best times of my life.

After Chuck returned to Phoenix and I to New Jersey, I only got to visit him once in Fresno, but we stayed in touch until the end. Chuck never lost his spirit; he was an inspiration to us all.

I remember when you first hit town. (Fresno) There was a "buzz" about your being there that I never witnessed about any other person, and I'd lived their all my life. When I met you I was kinda taken aback by your outspokenness. But your laughter, your humor, your cynicism and your groove were infectious. No one ever questioned that we were in the presence of "genius", but you never took yourself so serious as to be unapproachable and EVERYONE wanted to be a part of what you had going. I...

Loved my old friend. I have many fond memories of Chuck that will always remain. May his spirit enjoy a well deserved rest. May his family and friends demonstrate strength found thru Chuck.

Chuck; I had the priviledge to watch you perform on several occasions back in the day with my brother Jeff and the rest of the band. What a pleasure it was. May you rest in peace!

Chuck, I thank you for the computer help you gave me many years ago. And meeting you was a treat. I'm thankful to have met you through my brother Paul and will always remember your humor, wit, and resourcefulness.
My deepest sympathy to your family and friends for their loss of such a great human being.

My deepest sympathy to Chuck's family. He was a great friend who fortunately I was able to visit with in August before he got so ill. I will miss his determination, inventiveness, sense of humor, and appreciation for good food and drink.

Our deepest sympathy to Chuck's family. Chuck and I worked together to develop a resonator guitar that he could play comfortably. We kept in touch and I have fond memories of Chuck. I know that you were greeted by a host of angels who enjoyed your music and finally played it without pain. Carroll and Anita Benoit

Chuck aka "da quad" I know you're looking down on us now. I'm never going to forget our jam sessions and our heart to hearts. You were a true fighter and your passion for life was inspiring.
