Tommy Eugene Fisher, 58, resided in Richardson, TX. He was born in Parker County, TX on September 8, 1960. He began working at Gibson in Conroe, TX in 1974 where he met his beautiful wife, Darlene Johnson Fisher. On July 7, 1979 he married her, was blessed with two boys, and over 40 years of marriage. On August 19, 1979 he began an adventurous career in telecommunications. In his most recent position he served as Director of Enterprise Professional Services with Ribbon Communications. He proved to be a motivating, compassionate, and sensitive leader. This is reinforced by the many testimonies of employees who respected and loved him not only as a leader but as a friend. Tommy was always there to lend a hand no matter your need. He loved to go to his ranch where he would find peace and solitude on a tractor, fixing things (he was an excellent “fixer”), and enjoyed his family.
