Sad to learn of Dick Fisher’s passing on. I knew him well during his time in Nairobi, Kenya.
Dick was a lively person and his presence was felt with his loud laugh, his love for good drinks and cigars. 
May the Almighty rest his soul in eternal peace 🙏

I will always miss Dick Fisher. Before 2002 till he passed, we have been communicating twice every month; He never missed returning my calls. I knew something was wrong when I called him in July 2020, he did not pick up or returned my call. He was one of the nicest American I met that made a big difference in my life. I met him in 1992 at the U.S. Embassy Monrovia when he came to audit my Finance Department. He was great man that will be surely missed. May his soul rest in perpetual peace.

I just learned  of Dick a/k/a “The Fish” passing. I meet Dick  just after he retired from the State Department and he lived with me for several months while he  got his retirement straightened  out at the mother ship. I rented Dick’s apartment out for years and he always stayed with me when he was in town. 
My mother Ruby (who died in November of 2019) was also great friends. I am sorry I wasn’t aware of his funeral. The only reason I did know about it is  that I sent him a menu from a NYC restaurant, he loved to collect menues and it was returned. I knew something was wrong. If Ican be of assistance down here in Washington, please let me know.

I’m sorry that I could not attend the memorial service. Dick was a friend whom I met through the Hamilton Club. We shared a love for cigars, food and drink. Our road trips to his favorite eating estabishments were near legendary and will be sorely missed without Dick. I am still rattled by his dieath as I had him over my house for cigars on the patio just two weeks before he passed. I wish the family peace. Rest in peace, dear friend.

Forty years of laughter and professionalism.  I first met Dick in 1980 when he was assigned to Abidjan, Ivory Coast as Regional Budget Officer.  Other African assignments took him to Nairobi and Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo.  Dick was a great organizer and was the first officer to consolidate a Budget Workshop attended by all embasssies in sub-Sahara Africa.  We traveled together often and I was always amazed how Dick knew every “special place” in Paris for fine dining or that special drink.  Someone will inherit his vast collection of “menus” from around the world.  Just a few weeks ago, I encouraged Dick to write his memoir.  Now he will have the time.  I’ll have to wait to read it.  Chuck

Words cannot express the sadness I feel. Dick was one of my husband’s (Dan Reilly) best friends and became mine as well. Even though my husband passed away over 10 years ago, Dick was always there for me. He visited me in Florida often.  I will miss you Dick, but Dan is happy to have his friend with him now. May you Rest In Peace my friend. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.  Love you, Sheree

So sorry to hear of Dick’s passing. I met him through my step father (Joe Zeman) I always enjoyed his stories and his ready smile. Prayers for you all
