Our deepest condolences to the entire Fisher family and friends. My mother Virginia was very good friends with Jerry and Evelyn Fisher. She is very sad to learn of his passing. He and my father worked together in Local 25 and were very close friends. My mother always talks about how he and Evelyn came to visit and arrived on a motorcycle. Jerry gave my mother her very first ride on his motorcycle, and she still remembers him fondly for that. 
Peace.

Gerry was the first guy that hired me at Argo Steel. He made it easy to start in the trade. Always quick with a smile and patient with apprentices  . Great family - a father to be proud of. Thinking of all your family.

May the Great Spirit guide and protect you as you leave this earth plane returning to the heavens above. Allow the Eagles to soar in your honor. My condolences to all of of Jerry's family and friends during this time of reflection.

Saddened to hear about the loss of Uncle Jerry, I have fond memories as a little girl when they would come visit us in Arkansas. Aunt Ev and Uncle Jerry and when they found  George the turtle and raised him. That was one lucky turtle 

You will always have a special place in my heart. 
Last time we spend time together was @the antler river seniors center in Chippewa ,  where we shared laughs,  food,  and got too meet some of our relatives for the first time.
It was great to be able to physically hug and kiss you after such a long time. 
I love you forever and always❤

I’ll always miss your accidental calls and accidental photos you’d send to me, my siblings and everyone else. they were the most hilarious and heart warming. I’ll never forget the birthday cards we’d receive every year, even after we were 18 you’d still send them (no money though hahaha!) and it was so kind. The phone calls we had before social media, my dad always made sure we knew who our Grandpa Fisher was. I remember the excitement we all felt when we found out we were going to meet you for the first time at Natalie’s 10 year feast. I’m so thankful you gave me the family I have today. I’m so thankful you were in my life no matter the distance. Kunolúkhwa Grandpa Fisher, I’ll miss you every day. 

I loved our conversation's when Melissa would call when she visited you and you scaring me by calling me on messenger.  Thank you for being part of my family from afar grandpa! Baamaapii 

Oh where do I start! You've known me all my life! I know we didn't talk a lot and things have not always been great, but I NEVER EVER stopped Loving MY Dad! My ONE and ONLY Dad!! I always got a kick out of you accidently or not accidently facebooking calling my 3 youngest kids, I know they always loved it and thought is was funny that G-Pa Fisher in his 80's was on FB and talking to them on FB! You were never afraid of anything in my eyes!! I'm so glad we had that BBQ two yrs ago at my house you got to see a lot of family that you haven't seen in a long time! I still love the stories from the old timer Ironworkers that ALWAYS loved working for you and what a great pusher you were! That just shows what kind of man you are!  I'm going to miss you every day dad! 

I loved our visits when you came to town! I’m so glad you’re finally with grandma. Please look after my dad & Michelle and hug them for me! ❤️ I will miss you everyday Grandpa!!

Dad love to help me clean the corn. I am going to miss him everyday for the rest of my life.

Mr. Fisher leaves6 children, 20 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren, 2 great-great-grandchildren, many nieces, nephews and friends to cherish his memory.
