James Fisher Obituary
Jim had many names over the years, "Catfish" to his CB buddies in his early trucking days, "Papa Jim" to some of the kids he took under his wing in the early days of "Jim and Jane", Mr. Jim to his neighborhood, where kids and adults alike loved him for his kindness, generosity, and humor. He loved spoiling, and picking on, the neighborhood kids!
Jim was always looking for somebody to help, to be kind to, to spoil, to share a story or two or eight or 10, and he loved to play card and board games.
But the names he loved best were Dad and Grandaddy/Grandpa Jim. He leaves behind three children and their mates, Clifford Dale and wife, Alice Fisher, daughter, Rebecca Jane and wife, Paula, and youngest son, Michael Wayne and wife, Jeannie.
Granddaddy was an extrovert, and loved telling stories to anyone who would listen! When he wasn't telling trucking stories, he'd share childhood escapades with Clifford Dale Fisher Jr, Courtney Dey Fisher, Andrew Thomas Barbour, and Quinn Patrick Humburg-Fisher. He welcomed their significant others into his life as well, Cliff Jr's wife, Gwen Reyes Fisher, Courtney's husband, Dr. Jason Kudurogianis, and Drew's girlfriend, Chrissy Mohl, who he couldn't wait to call his grandaughter. He loved spoiling all of his grandkids, and he enjoyed picking on everyone! He was full of fun and laughter, and was truly a Crozet icon. He will be missed by many, and will always be remembered for his unlimited love and generosity.

Jimmy and I were high school classmates and we double dated for our senior prom. About 20 years after graduation we began to gather with classmates for five year reunions and Jimmy and Jane were always in attendance and added to the events. Later these gatherings became annual events and again Jimmy and Jane were there and Jimmy continued to be a regular attendee after Janes passing. Jimmy was a good friend and is missed. His family should feel good that he lived a very productive life trying to make others feel better about themselves.

James and my brother Robbie would bring me mushrooms and deer meat. They did that for years. I am so thankful for both of them. I am so sorry to hear the passing of James. I know that you will miss him a lot. God bless you and your family. Donnie Fisher, Waynesboro, Va.
