Roger Fisher

Mr Fisher was someone who helped me believe in myself he was our teacher when we eloped in 1968. We have been married for 54 years and still talk about what a great teacher he was. Our oldest daughter is a teacher, because she wanted that same kind of satisfaction in lifw.

Mr. Fisher was one of the four people who influenced me the most when I was growing up. He introduced me to Bob Dylan and thermodynamics . . . . what more can I say? The world will be a poorer place without him.

It was just one month ago today. Re-reading all of your kind words is a bit overwhelming. Thank you to friends and former students near and far for sharing your treasured memories. Lynn

Fisher family-

My family and I are very sorry for your loss. I am glad I was able to meet Roger over the years... who can forget Roger and Lynn driving up to do the famous fish fries when Mark and I and others lived together in college. I also remember Roger walking thru my house in 2005 in the middle of massive renovations and him joking with me "Ron you're either really crazy or really brave to take this on!" I can tell from the entries of his students that he was a tremendous...

I considered it an honor to be a student of Mr. Fisher. I admired him for his knowledge, leadership and compassion. He was fantastic teacher and an incredible person. He will be missed.

Nice turn out last night-not at all surprizing. He was proud of how his boys turned out. I owe my career in fish biology and 30-yr employment at Ohio State/Stone Lab to his Ichthyology class. He set me up with an internship my senior year with the OSU boss that I would have my entire career there, getting paid to play with fish and teach Lake Erie ecology. John Hageman, NHS Class of '77

like the wake spreading behind reflects the cut of the boat, these messages speak to the measure of the man. Roger's influence continues to spread exponentially, across generations. He is a big part of why so many of us find joy and wonder in the world around us. His wonder became our wonder. I owe much of what I know about the lakes and the rivers and the fish and the trees and the atoms and the galaxies to Roger. I understand my place in, my impact on and my responsibility to the...

Mr. Fisher was quite simply a "legend". A true educator who inspired me to also become an educator. I have so many fond memories of his Physics and Ecology classes at Northwood. He went above and beyond the curriculum to teach life lessons that are still with me 22 years later. My deepest condolences to his family...you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Mr. Fisher was my favorite teacher at NHS. He taught the hardest subjects in such a way that you got it. He demanded respect and you didn't dare mess around in his class. Every student should have a teacher like him in their lifetime to truly understand that a teacher can care for you and really "teach". You knew he loved what he was doing and had a real passion for it. I am so lucky to have had him! God Bless his family and may they be comforted in knowing how many people he touched in his...
