I wish to extend my family’s deepest condolences to the Fisher family, and mine, in particular, to Brick and John with whom I worked at 7th avenue back in the late ‘70s. I’m not sure there’s a word that could measure up and fully describe your dad. He was certainly a character who enjoyed family, life, raising money, and hitting a golf ball. I’ve attached a photo from half a life time ago that captures a part of the “Mr. Fisher” as I knew him. Yes, that’s my dad on his right - both were making a fashion
statement with their golf slacks in those days. He sure will be missed … Best wishes and God’s blessing to all of the Fisher family.

i am so thankful for the opportunity to work at Federated. Besides the advantages it provided my family, it was wonderful to meet the great people who founded it and their families. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Fisher Family,
I had the great honor to work with Mr. Fisher. Although I left Pittsburgh 16 years ago, we never lost touch and he continued to be a mentor and role model to me and a man of great wisdom to all fortunate enough to know him.

Though I haven't seen Dick in many years, he was a friend and a great classmate. He made my years at Holy Cross so memorable. Anyone that had the privilege of knowing him will never forget him.

Dear Fisher Family,

My dad worked at Federated for over thirty years. He always admired and respected Mr. Fisher. He enjoyed his conversations with "Richard B" at the Federated security desk. Mr. Fisher always made my dad's day. I know he is in heaven with his wife and driving around in Jaguars.
When my dad passed, Mr. Fisher was so kind to our family. His gift to my mom and me will never be forgotten.

May God Bless!

Sincerely,
Kathy Fillnow

Condolences to the entire Fisher family. I will miss his smile, jokes, his first class way of doing everything....and most of all our long lunches where we discussed almost every issue in the world. I am blessed to have known him.
