Dave Fisher

David, as I knew him. We went to grammar school and middle school together in New Haven. Even in 5th grade he had a booming, great voice. His mom was my cub scout leader and spent many great times at his house. I had contacted David in 2009 when he was in Rye.

Very sad to hear of his passing.

You will be missed and you have left the music world with a great legecy

great song writer and talent gone,,you will be missed!

He has rowed his boat ashore-home. What great memories from high school this music recalls. Prayers to his beloved family and friends.

Thank you for the music which will live on. It's still one of my favorite CDs -- what talent! So many memories. I hope they will comfort Dave's family in the years ahead.

May your memories comfort you and may the family take comfort in the hope at Isaiah 26:19

Will miss your music. Grew up listing to your songs. May GOD be with you .

So many songs I remember....I just love the Highwayman

To The Family:

"Michael" was one of the first songs I taught my little brother to sing...years ago. He was only about 2 years old at the time. I remember the Highwaymen well and I always enjoyed their music. I look forward to the time when Dave will again pick up his pen and write music and sing beautiful songs to the One who will have made it all possible (Psalm 83:18, Revelation 21:4, John 5:28,29). He will then be able to 'sing to Him, make melody to Him', and 'concern himself with all His wonderful acts." (1 Chronicles 16:9). Please accept my sincere condolences.

I regret the lost of your loved one.

Dave and his group was one of my favorites when growing up. The harmony was incredible. It will never be the same. God Bless you all. He is sharing his many beautiful talents with the Heavenly choirs now. Thank you for your music.

Rest in His Love and under His wings.To the family, my husband and I both send you our heart felt homage. Dave Fisher did us all proud with his God given gift. What joy we take from his work.

Rest in His love and under His wings.

Loved the group and their music!

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Rest in Peace my friend.

His song "Michael" was the greatest folk song ever. You'll always be remembered, Dave ! Ruth Birtwell (Ashford, CT.)

To Family of Dave I am so sorry for your lost. Let me share a scripture with you at James 4:8 were it says Draw close to god and he will draw close to you.

His music gave our generation and me personally great enjoyment. He will be sorely missed.

Rest in peace.

His music obviously had an impact. We'll miss him.

To the the family of Dave Fisher - May God give you peace and comfort through his word and the Lord Jesus Christ during this time of sorrow,I know that Dave will be missed by many.

Dave, row your boat to the Heavenly shore where you can now sing with the angels before the Throne of God.

The first record album I ever owned was "Hootenanny with the Highwaymen", an album recorded live. It was a wonderful sampler of folk songs. I loved the amazing blending of the singers' voices and their easy camaraderie. The Highwaymen inspired my lifelong interest in folk music. I enjoy all music, but folk music remains my favorite, and the Highwaymen were the very best. Thank you for sharing your gift with us, Dave!

I bought A PBS DVD of you & other folk rock groups. Glad I did. Sure takes me back to my youth & your singing of "Michael" is part of those pleasant memories. Thanks for the great music.

I have always loved that song. It had a great feeling of peace. All the best to the family. May you continue to sing your song in Heaven rest in peace...

I have always loved that song. It had a great feeling of peace. All the best to the family. May you continue to sing your song in Heaven rest in peace...Dave

I was nine years old when "Michael" came out. It's one of my all time favorites. Thanks for the memories. May you rest in peace.

I was so saddened to hear of the death of Dave. He was my camp counselor in the '60's at Camp Shwayder, Idaho Springs, CO. This was right when "Michael Row Your Boat" had just been released and not a single camp meal went by without singing a "Michael." I will now get out my old Highwaymen record and bring back warm memories of a very kind and entergetic man. Lesley Cohen Flaks, Colorado Springs, CO

I wish the generation of folks now days had the unforgettable music to play or listen to such as was the trademark of Mr. Fisher. PAt M. Danville, Va.

I am so very sad to hear of the loss of Dave. He was my camp counselor way back in the 60's at Camp Schwayder, in Idaho Springs, CO. The record Michael Row Your Boat had just been released and not a meal went by without us singing that memorable song. I will pull out my Highwayman Record remember what a fine and entergetic man he was. In Sympathy, Lesley Cohen Flaks

sorry for yall

I am 50 years old and I have always love the music by the "Highwaymen".
God Bless your family,

Mr.Fisher
gave me many hours of joy. The family has my condolences and prayers.

The Highwaymen were my inspiration to learn guitar and play acoustic music. They were my favorite folk group of the 60's and I still listen to their music today. My condolences to Dave's family.
Sincerely,
Mike Stern

Dave Fisher and the Highwaymen were my favorite folk group of the 60's, when I was a teenager. I was fortunate enough to see the Highwaymen when they were at Irish Fest in Milw a few summers ago. I have 52 Highwaymen's songs on my iPod, which I listen to whenever I travel. The group's music was my inspiration to take up guitar,and play acoustic music, even to this day, while in my 60's. My condolences to his family. I will always remember the highwaymen as being a part of my youth and musical roots.

I am deeply saddened to hear that Dave Fisher has passed away. I have been a lifelong fan of The Highwaymen since age 9. My condolences to his family, friends and his fellow Highwaymen.

A contemporary of Mr. Fisher, I only knew him thru his music, which has been and will remain a part of my life. I am sorrowed at his passing.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

My condolences to family and loved ones. May the "God of all comfort" be with you as you cope with your loss.

At our sister Monica's funeral in December, we sang one of her favorite songs, "Michael, Row the Boat Ashore". His music helped us to send her on her way and she was there to welcome our own brother Dave in January and then Mr. Fisher when he arrived for the milk and honey on the other side.

Thanks for the memories
Gone but not forgotten
John 5:28,29

May The Lord, The Creator of the universe rest Dave's Soul and bring peace and comfort to his Loved Ones. In the Hope of The Resurrection, Amen.

I loved the songs as I was growing up in Topeka, Kansas. I went around singing Michael, Row The Boat Ashore all the time, still do to this day. I am very sure Dave will be missed by all that knew him and heard his songs. May GOD be with you during this time of sorrow.
THANKS FOR ALL THE GOOD MEMORIES!!!

What a tragic loss !!!!
I was raised by a wonderful Mother who played guitar during our childhood. We still sing Dave's hits. Cotton fields is sung at every family gathering. It has become a tradition in our family, passing it down generation after generation. My 6yr old granddaughter loves it as well. Your music will be remembered for years to come. God bless all the family and know you're in our thoughts and prayers.

Remembering Michael Row the Boat Ashore is easy for me. I play it a lot on my keyboard even now and years ago during the Vietnam era we used to have hootenannies, my friends and i & at that time i played guitar. It was a fun time, for us. What a shame Dave Fisher was taken from us. I am sure he suffered tremendously with his disease. Please Lord, Remember Dave Fisher and take him by the hand as you cross the Great Divide.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

My deepest condolences are with you at this time of need. Know that god
feels your pain as well. Go to him in prayer and he will comfort you very
much.

I do remember the song, Micheal... Please accept my condolences for your loss. God will swallow up death forever. Isaiah 25:8

We express our sympathies,

hearted and binding up the
their painful spot.

Another fabulous voice to add to God's heavenly choir. Rest in Peace and thanks for the beautiful melodies.
