CAPT Fisher was my first CO after I was commissioned and made a profound, lasting impression on me. Still have the wedding gift he and the ship’s wardroom gave us. He was the commensurate gentleman, professional Naval Officer, someone who often made me think during my career “What would Capt. Bill do?” I was very saddened to hear of his passing. Our sincere condolences to his family. He will be missed and fondly remembered.
John L and family, Very sorry for your loss. Many thanks to the CAPT for the years of service and the sacrifices he and your family made for our well being. I will keep your Father in my prayers and pray that peace and comfort be provided to you in this most difficult time. All my best, Mak
Dear MC, John and Cathy, Deepest sympathy to all of you. I only met Bill once, but he was most kind and gracious. Blessings to the whole family. Ann
I served with Captain Fisher at the Naval Academy. He was truly “an officer and a gentleman” in every respect who cared about all around him. He taught me a great deal and I am forever grateful for his mentoring, He was, “Semper Fidelis” in every way. Tom Draude
