David Fisher Obituary
David A. Fisher
Sept 3, 1945 - June 6, 2021
HUDSON FALLS - David A. Fisher, 75, a resident of Hudson Falls, formally of Fort Ann passed away Sunday, June 6, 2021 after a long battle with illnesses related to Agent Orange exposure while serving in Vietnam.
He was born on Sept 3, 1945 in Spartanburg, SC to David L. Fisher and Janis Fisher. After a few years in
Groton and Hudson Falls, he grew up in Fort Ann.
A 1963 graduate of Fort Ann Central School, he enlisted in the Army in 1964. Besides his statewide assignments, he served in France and then Vietnam with the 1st Air Cavalry Division.
On July 22, 1967, he married Phyllis Clark from Whitehall and they were together almost 54 years. They settled in the country outside of Whitehall where they raised their two sons, Mark and Scott. After nearly 20 years there and the boys grown, they moved to Queensbury and then Hudson Falls.
A 25 year career with Agway culminated in owning his own Agway Store in Whitehall. After his retirement, he enjoyed working with computers and electronics. You never knew what type of robot might be roaming the house! He also spent many hours creating with his 3D printer.
He was predeceased by his parents, David and Janis Fisher of Fort Ann; his in-laws, Philip and Doris Clark of Whitehall; his son, Mark Fisher of Hudson Falls; and brother, Terry Fisher of CO.
Survivors include his wife, Phyllis Fisher; son, Scott Fisher; grandchildren: Cory Fisher, Markarla Fisher, and Emily Fisher; daughter-in-law, Laura Fisher, all of Hudson Falls; sister and brother-in-law, Nancy and Peter Sutherland of Fort Ann; nieces and nephews: Jesse (Ginny) Sutherland of Kingsbury; Sarah Sutherland (John Munshaw) of Queensbury; Jeff Fisher of CO; and Duane Fisher of MN.

I am saddened by your loss, but glad you had so many beautiful yrs together as a family. I remember well when your family ran Whitehall Agway- & such a joyful place to do business. Dave was always upbeat no matter what life handed him- and usually had a huge smile with which he greeted you! I´m sure he is raising Cain in the hereafter just waiting for ( but not patiently) his loved ones to arrive someday. Sad for your loss but glad he is no longer plagued by illness. May your memories of days gone by change your tears of sadness to joy & laughter as your hearts slowly begin to heal until you meet again. Sending my & lots of to walk you through the sad & lonely days to help the sun shine again
