I always enjoyed doing business with Mr Fisher and the few minutes we got to chat. He will be missed in the beekeeping community.

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. As fellow beekeepers, we always enjoyed talking with Ed. Ed always took the time to talk bees. He listened to our bee stories and shared many of his own. No matter how busy he was, he was always calm and quiet spoken . His dry sense of humor was a quality trait that we will miss the most. He will be remembered.

I am going to miss this man so much! A girl couldn’t have asked for a better Father in Law!
I will always remember:
His quiet ways with the awesome one-liners.
The time he fixed the race car back hatch for me, so Steve wouldn’t be quite as mad at me!
The time he gave his grandson’s to show them how much they meant to him and to teach them his love of fishing, bees and airplanes.
His helping Jean to raise the man I married.
Till we meet again!!

I was so sorry to learn of Eddie’s passing. I grew up in Nashua with the Fisher family. Our parents were good friends. We even took a vacation together many years ago to Minnesota. Eddie was always such a good person and very nice to me. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. May God surround you with His loving arms. Love, Susan Olson Longstreth.
