Jim: God's gift to you was your talent; your gift to God was how you used it. It was a privilege to have known you and
God surely has made a very special place for you.

I dealt with Jim on several issues involving Summit County. He was a friendly, intelligent man and top notch lawyer. Rest in Peace.

As a colleague, as a friend, as a fellow attorney and former partner, and as a person, I have long admired Jim for his rare combination of intellect, keen wit, kindness, consideration, and contribution in all things. There is, was, and never will again be a more devoted fanatic of "The" Ohio State University football program - and the fact that he's now free to support his beloved Buckeyes from the loftiest seat in the horseshoe can do nothing but help. The world needs more Jim Fishers - and...

Jim and Nancy we will miss you. You both did a lot of wonderful things for others. I particularly felt a kinship with Jim as he took his daily noon walk past my office for years. He was a dedicated member of our church who always provided wise counsel.

Rest in Peace Jim Fisher. You were one of the best human beings that I knew, one of the best attorneys that I knew and a great mentor, but you were undisputedly the single greatest Buckeye Football fan that I will ever know. I am glad that you are with Nancy again and I hope that in heaven we beat Michigan every day. You will be missed.

To The Earthly Family and Friends of Jim and Nancy Fisher, I wish you peace and hearts full of the same love that that Jim and Nancy shared so graciously with all who knew and loved them. They always "got" what it meant to be true disciples. I am thankful that for Jim his earthly struggle is over and that now he and Nancy can root for their beloved Buckeyes from a much better place. Thanks be to God for two such wonderful people. Those of us who knew you both were truly blessed! Kathy...

"Please accept our deepest sympathies on your loss". We loved Jim and Nancy very much. They were great people! Although they were close friends with my family we considered them a part of our family. God Bless. Jim and Debbie Lucas
