Uncle Dickle, thanks for everything in life, icluding taking me for my first haircut. You were there in my early life when I needed a strong male role model. Still have a picture of you, me and Bonnie when you took us to the Baltimore Zoo back in the late 1950's.

Dear Mrs. Fisher, Susan & Doyal, Sheila, Richard and families,

I am so deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Fisher. My memories of times spent at the Fisher house more than 20 years ago are as clear as yesterday. Susan, you father always made your friends feel welcome in your home and treated us like equals and not like teenagers. His kindness and encouragement was vital for those of us who didn't have that relationship yet with our parents. His sense of humor, smile and light heartedness made it fun to hang out and talk with your dad.

Please accept our sincere condolences and may you memories be filled with the joy Mr. Fisher brought to us all.

His love of teaching and looking out for students was incredible. He had a gift for teaching life's lessons.

Dick: Ye will surely be missed . . your intelligence and sense of humor were unique. You and Gretchen were a remarkably perfect couple, and all of your relatives were blessed to have had so much time with you. We know as you look down you will be able to continue to root for your beloved Notre Dame teams.
