Great memories of a super
musician! Bobby sang with the Jerry Fisher Band for many years. Our
thoughts and prayers to the family and friends. ~ Bobby and JoAnn Fowler, The Villages, Florida Contact Me February 20, 2014 Joel, Jerry and family, I am so sorry to learn of the passing of your father. I know how difficult it is to lose a parent. You are in my prayers. Peace, Albert February 20, 2014
My father played
in the Lions Club jug band for years, and I am sure he knew
him well.

Jerry was a dear
friend of my dad's. I remember playing gigs with them and
they always had a great time, laughing and playing their
hearts out. ~ Jonathan Greenberg, Richmond, Virginia February 20, 2014
Heaven must be a
great place today as Jerry joins the Heavenly band. I have
been blessed to listen to Jerry for many years. My prayers
for his family; I am sure you can still hear him playing in
your quiet moments.

As the former
editor of the United Steelworkers Newsletter, I remember
Jerry fondly as a trusted source in helping us communicate
our message effectively to the members of Local 8888. Jerry
helped us in the design of our communications, helped us
grow our membership, and was always there when needed.
I'm sure Jerry is in heaven spreading joy through his musical talents. Rest in peace, my friend. ~ Troy Lusk, Naples, Florida Contact Me February 20, 2014
My sincerest
condolences to Jerry's family and many friends. Jerry's band
played several events for me and will be missed.
~ Vincent Joseph, Newport News, Virginia February 20, 2014
I am so sorry to
know that Jerry has passed away. I saw him frequently at
Morningside (usually in the hall or at lunch), and heard him
play several times there. He was engaging, intelligent and
witty. And good looking! My condolences.
~ Terry Joseph, Newport News, Virginia February 20, 2014 ![]() No doubt the next time it rains, the melodic sounds of "Pennies From Heaven" will rise from the heavens with your dad and mine playing music together again. You are in our thoughts, and Molly shares in Mark's sadness as well. ~ Jodi Newsome King, Yorktown, Virginia Contact Me February 20, 2014
I learned many
things from his talents and performance. I treasure
remembering his skilled playing.
~ Janet Farrar, Gloucester, Virginia Contact Me February 20, 2014 ![]() I am very sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family. We lived on the same street and always remembered your dad. He will be missed by many, as he touched so many people in his life. God Bless. ~ Tina (Higgins) Woods, Newport News, Virginia |
Our sincerest sympathies are extended to Mr. Fisher's family and their friends at this difficult time.
Y'all take good care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have Buckroe!
