Just a few words of CONDOLENCE to John Fisher's Family. I knew him as The Music Man from BIFF's Lounge - in other words, he was the DJ who rocked the house! Music for all attendees R&B, Swing and Reggae. I also new him as the Castle Williams' Worshipful Master who worked as hard or harder than anyone else to make their Annual Clambake a success. Those were good ole days but the sun has set for Bro. Fisher BUT ALL IS WELL!! We thank God for letting John Fisher, Sr. be a part of our lives! And May GOD Bless Us All!! REMBER: God Makes No Mistakes ALL IS WELL!!

It is with tear-filled eyes that I say a belated goodbye to my dad's best and dearest friend! Remembering fondly the times we've spent with you. You were so dear to our family that I affectionately called you "Uncle John". Despite the years, you remained young at heart and relateable. I'm glad my dad had you in his life. I laugh when I reminisce on the stories from your youth.... I was thinking about you over the w/e. Didn't know why you were on my heart and in my spirit. Regretting most that I didn't have a chance to pay my last respects and I never got to taste your souse meat. I miss you already, Uncle John.

A LIFE WELL LIVED

A life well lived is a precious gift,
of hope and strength and grace,
from someone who has made our world
a brighter, better place.

It's filled with moments, sweet and sad
with smiles and sometimes tears,
with friendships formed and good times shared,
and laughter through the years.

A life well lived is a legacy,
of joy and pride and pleasure,
a living, lasting memory
our grateful heart's will treasure.

Our Condolences to the Fisher family. John was a great friend that will truly be missed but never forgotten.

Linda, Jaelin, Jahmia, Jasmine, Kelvin Macari, and Leroy Balentine Jr (BT)

Dear Family, i am truly saddened to learn of Fisher's passing. We re-established our friendship upon his returning home. I will remember "Fish" as a genuinely kind man and always the gentleman. I dont think there is a topic on which he could not participate in a relevant discussion. I am fortunate to appreciate him as a true friend. Family: rejoice in his being and continue to enjoy a well deserved legacy. May God continue to richly Bless each of you. Byron L. Tutt, Sr.
