"Junior" and I grew up together from 1964 - 1971, while living at the orphanage in Cromwell, CT. He was like a brother to me, and to the dozens of other kids at the "Home", and was friends with everyone. I have many many fond memories of him, and I miss him. I last saw Junior in 1999, when we got together with a few other of our childhood friends from the orphanage, and I am greatful we shared that time with him. RIP brother! Your spirit lives on in all of us.

I knew William or Bill Fisher as Junior Fisher growing up in our childhood and he was like a brother to me. God speed and God bless his mother Susie whom I also knew.

My condolences on the passing of "Fish" as most of my family called him or Junior as my mom called him. Fisher was the first boyfriend I remember my mom ever having and even 2 years ago when I visited him in East Hartford he referred to me as his "daughter". Sleep in Pease Junior. Hug my mom for me, I hope you guys are partying 80's style. Love Aisha
