When we would visit my husband's parents (Mr. and Mrs. Wallace West)in Wilmington, Onree would always come over with a huge bag of M&M's for our children, with a big smile on his face. What a dear man he was. Many times while our daughter was in college and graduate school studying to be a chaplain, he would send her checks, 'love gifts', and you always knew that his faith and prayers came with them. How appreciated all were. He was a sweetie.

I remember Mr. Fisher from when he would come to our church (Gibson Ave) many years ago. My grandparents Charles (he passed 12/12/13) and Delores Duncan, thought a lot of Mr. Fisher and his wife. They were really sweet people. Mr. Fisher will be greatly missed but we all know where he has gone and that is to be with Our Lord. I am so sorry for the family's loss! My prayers and thoughts are with your family in this time of grieve. May he R.I.P
