Burl Fisher

Burl Douglas Fisher, 90, of East Ridge, passed away Wednesday, May 18, 2016, at his home surrounded by his family. Burl was the most non-judgmental, loving, generous, giving and compassionate old coot you would ever meet. A United States Air Force veteran, he received a Purple Heart during WWII. He enjoyed volunteering his time at the WWII Museum and voting poll. He also had a rare blood type and was a multiple gallon blood donor. He is survived by the love of his life and wife of 59 years, Joan Fisher; daughters, Janet Fisher and Sherry Fisher; grandson, Terry (Lynda) Cope; and precious great-grandchildren, Seth and Jonna Cope. Funeral services will be 11 a.m. on Tuesday, in the funeral home chapel, with Rev. Mitch McClure officiating.
