GLENS FALLS – Edward R. “Ed” Fisher, Sr., 63, of Cooper Street, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family, after a long illness, on Sunday, February 15, 2015 at the Albany Stratton VA Medical Center.
Born on April 19, 1951 in Glens Falls, he was the son of the late Rose Marie Fisher.
Following high school, Ed enlisted in the United States Navy. He loved the Navy because it gave him an opportunity to travel and see the world.
For 27 years, Ed worked for Dave Holderman at The Talk of The Town, as the head chef. He had the best of both worlds; he loved working for Dave and loved cooking. Ed was an avid Yankee fan and also enjoyed bowling and hunting. He especially loved his family and his dogs. He was a devoted family man and was loved dearly by them and all who met him.
Besides his mother, Ed was predeceased by his first wife, Valerie E. Fisher, who passed away on March 21, 1996.
Survivors include his wife, Elizabeth “Jane” Fisher of Glens Falls; his three children, Edward R. Fisher, Jr. and his wife, Heather of Gansevoort, Jodie Fisher and her fiancé, Dave Archambault of Fort Edward and Michelle Swears and her husband, Phil of Fort Edward; his grandchildren, Tyler, Ayden, and Rylan Swears, Valerie and Everlie Fisher, Morgan Dyer and Robert Stark; his two brothers, Richard Fisher and Michael Celeste; his two sisters, Kimberly Fisher and Tina Straut and her husband, Robert; as well as several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and dogs.
Ed’s family would like to thank Dr. Kim, the oncology department and emergency room staff at the Albany Stratton VA Medical Center for the wonderful, kind and compassionate care given to Ed throughout his stay.
