Uncle Jimmy, I’m sorry I never got around to sending your postcard. I love you.

James Charles Fisher

James Charles Fisher, of North Fort Myers and Upper Dam, ME, died peacefully in his sleep March 26, 2009 after a brief, but valiant, battle with brain cancer.Born in Kearny, NJ on May 18, 1933, he met and married Jacqueline Cox Fisher January 22, 1955. Jim spent his early years working a variety of jobs before settling in to a distinguished and successful sales career at Liberty Mutual. He retired from Liberty’s management team after 31 years with the company. Upon retirement, Jim and Jackie set out to travel through out the US and Canada – going as far northwest as Alaska and south into Mexico – culminating a life long dream to travel. They eventually settled into retirement, splitting their time between their home in North Fort Myers Florida, and their dream home at Upper Dam, Maine.Jim will be remembered for his tenacity, strength and abilities. He will be greatly missed by Jacqueline, his wife of 54 years, and their children, Sharon Malick, and husband Dave, of Clearwater, FL, Cindy Fisher of Maynard, MA, Kathy Fisher of Greenland, NH and Eric Fisher, and wife Beth, of Durham, NH. He is survived by numerous grandchildren. He will also be missed by the hummingbirds, chickadees and other sundry birds that he fed steadily and with love during his summers at camp in Maine. The red squirrels, while respectfully lamenting his loss, have already established plans to move into his shed and bird feeders.There are no calling hours. A private memorial service will be held this summer for immediate family members. Condolences may be sent to the family at 3 Gerrish Drive, Durham, NH 03824.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to the Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust: RLHT, P.O. Box 249, Oquossoc, ME 04964 – www.RLHT.org.
