Obituary of Anthony "Tony" Kent FISHER

On Thursday, August 6, 2020, the Fisher family lost our beloved father and grandfather suddenly. Anthony “Tony” Fisher passed away doing what he loves, riding horses in the wilderness.

Tony was born in Philadelphia on September 10, 1939. Throughout his life, he was an example for all of us in living life to the fullest: white water canoeing and kayaking, horseback riding, skiing of all flavors, and adventure travel were just some of his many interests. Tony was foremost a devoted and loving father, brother, husband and grandfather, and he will be deeply missed. Tony will be remembered for his gentle and caring manner, and for his sense of humor and the infectious laughter that was always around him.

Tony was predeceased by his wife and partner in adventure for thirty-three years, Susan Joyce. He is survived by his children, Kent (Barbra Richardson) and Peter (PJ); his stepchildren, Virginia (Cameron) Webster, Valerie Wilson (Brian Olorenshaw) and Andrew Wilson (Michelle Kula-Wilson); his grandchildren, Thayer, Micah, Julia, Josie, Alissa, Kyle, Cortland and Lily; his siblings, Anne Colby and Chris (Missy) Fisher; and his new found companion in life, Lynne Kearns.

A private family celebration of Tony’s life will be held later this month. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.
