Walter F. Fisher
July 26, 1929 to February 4, 2002
Walter Fisher was born on July 26th, 1929, in Philadelphia and grew up during the Great Depression. The economic circumstances of the era taught him to take pleasure in simple things. Walter spent much of his childhood playing sports. He was a dedicated student and he did well in school. Walt loved to read interesting books or watch movies. He also enjoyed puzzles and games, and he excelled at them.
Following high school graduation, Walter was drafted into the Army and served in Korea. Walter returned from Korea without any evidence of injury, and he was active for many years in the American Legion. Through the American Legion, Walter made many friends and eventually his friendship led him to meet his future wife Theresa.
In 1963, Walter and Theresa were married and they soon began a family. Together Walter and Theresa raised three children: Dennis, Eileen and James. Walter always did his best in providing for the children. Despite the hardships he faced as a child, Walter was careful not to spoil his own children. He instilled in them the importance of education and he took great pride in their accomplishments.
For most of his working life Walter worked for Leeds and Northrup, a manufacturer of industrial control systems. His positions ranged from manufacturing to marketing, but most of his effort was applied toward the company's accounting matters. Early in his marriage, Walter attended LaSalle College to study business. Full-time employment and full-time fatherhood eventually curtailed this course of study.
Walter valued education, but he knew that experience is also necessary. He encouraged his children to participate in sports, music, travel and the spiritual life. The strength of Walter's own faith was obvious to his friends and family. He was quiet, reflective, and compassionate. Walter always showed concern for others, and many people will remember him for his acts of kindness.
Throughout his life Walter held his family in the highest regard. Regardless of the matter at hand, his decision was based on the effect that it would have on his family. During the early years of his marriage, Walter had the chance to move to Australia, with the promise of great opportunity. His concern for his own mother's welfare was too great to allow him to relocate. Where the well being of others was concerned, he followed the teachings of Jesus with impeccable adherence.
In 1994, shortly after his retirement, Walter suffered a very complex series of medical problems involving his heart and many other organs. True to form, his main concern was his family. Walter not only survived the life-threatening ordeal, but he recovered to an astonishing level of health. He was able to resume all of his pastimes including gardening and extensive travel.
As soon as his health was restored Walter began work as a volunteer at Jeanes Hospital, where he had been treated for his illness. Later he also took a paid position at Jeanes, working with internal mail delivery. Walter's position allowed him to come in contact with many of the staff members, and he thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity. Walter worked until a few days before entering the hospital.
Toward the end of 2001, Walter experienced recurring sinus problems. Along with these, he began to feel weak. In the beginning of 2002, Walter found himself exhausted on a daily basis. Eventually, on January 18th, Walter got so tired that he had to discontinue his job at Jeanes. On January 21st, Walter entered the Emergency Room at Jeanes, complaining of his ongoing exhaustion.
That week Walter learned that he had cancer in his lungs and that it had spread to his brain. The doctors said that the cancer had reached Stage Four, the most advanced stage. The outlook was bleak, and the news came as a shock to everyone. Walter began radiation treatments on January 28th and was scheduled to continue until the middle of February. He was released from the hospital to a short term nursing facility on January 31st.
On Sunday, February 3rd, Walter spent the afternoon at his home, visiting with family and friends. Later that same night, after returning to the nursing care facility, he fell and injured his head. He was rushed to the Emergency Room at Elkins Park Hospital. The injury caused internal bleeding which put pressure on Walter's brain. Within about 6 hours Walter stopped breathing. He was unconscious and the doctors said that he was unable to feel any pain.
Walter is remembered lovingly by his wife Theresa; his children Dennis Fisher, Eileen Meade and James Fisher; and his grandchildren Emily Ann Fisher, Brianne Alexa Meade, Delaney Jordan Meade, Nathaniel James Fisher, and Natalie Babette Fisher.
