Mr. Fisher was born in Brockton, was raised in East Bridgewater, and was the son of the late Marion (Fuller) and Lester R. Fisher. In Stans early life he enjoyed spending time outside running and riding his bike with his family. He was an avid musician and played drums in the band, Snow Tonite. He shared his love for music with his family and friends. He enjoyed skiing and taught his wife and all five children how to ski. As his illness progressed, he could be found in his power chair rolling through the streets of Oak Point. He was a great cook and an expert at the grill. His heart was the most full when all of his children and his wife were under one roof. His family was his joy. Those times were made even more joyful if there was a Red Sox, Bruins, Patriots, or Celtics game on. Stan worked for 35 years at Goddard Memorial Hospital in Stoughton as the Laboratory Manger. He was a well-respected microbiologist. He took much pride in his work and thrived when given the opportunity to share his knowledge and teach young people.
