Richard was born February 17, 1932, in Cedar Rapids, the son of Albert V. and Elsie (Gregor) Fisher.  He grew up in Czech Village with four brothers, graduating from Wilson High School. He loved baseball, playing for Wilson and pitching in the M & J and American Legion leagues.  Richard was a proud United States Marine, servicing Corsairs and Sky Raiders during the Korean Conflict. Semper Fi!  He met Donna Crossett when she served him ice cream at the Davis Dairy. They were married at Trinity Methodist church and celebrated their 69 ^th anniversary on May 26. They settled into Cedar Rapids' Southwest side to raise their family, then enjoyed 30 years living at Lake MacBride before returning to Cedar Rapids. Dick was a union sheet metal worker for over 42 years at Grissell Company. Working outdoors in all weather, often hanging from scaffolds and rooftops, his craftsmanship can be seen on buildings throughout eastern Iowa.  An active member of the Trinity United Methodist, he served the church as Men's Club president and in many other ways. He played church league softball, golfed, and bowled. He was also a member of the Sheet Metal Retirees group, and the Cedar Rapids minor league baseball Booster Club. Most of all he enjoyed fishing - Lake MacBride (every day!) and on Lake Kabetogama. He especially loved pontooning around Lake MacBride with friends and family, and travels around California with his grandsons.

Dick is survived by his wife Donna; his children Paula (Dexter) David of Sacramento, California and Russell A. Fisher of Cedar Rapids; two grandchildren Steven (Alisha) David and Travis David; two great-grandchildren Elijah and Abigail; his siblings Robert Fisher, Steven (Linda) Fisher and Gary (Leah) Fisher; his sister-in-law LaVerne Fisher; as well as his nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Charles Fisher, and his sister-in-law Betty Fisher.

Memorials may be directed to Cedar Rapids Parkinson's Foundation or Hospice of Mercy in his name.

His family extends a heartfelt thank you to his caregivers including the V.A., Hospice of Mercy, Brightstar, ProMedica, Mercy Palliative Care, and especially Dr. Tammy O'Brion and her staff.
