Kenneth Lee Fisher Ken was born on February 23, 1944 to the late Clive and Doris Marita Fisher and passed peacefully into eternity on May 20, 2016, with his wife, Lynn (Deryck) Fisher, steadfastly at his side. He was preceded in death by his brother, Pvt. 1st class, Ronald J. Fisher in Vietnam.

Ken''s work life started at Goodyear as an apprentice machinist and he continued on with Goodyear Tire & Rubber and Aircraft Breaking Systems, retiring after forty two years. For the past 12 years, he served as the President of his home owners association, taking excellent care of his friends and neighbors. Ken most loved spending time with his wife, girls and his grandchildren. He and Lynn traveled as often as they could except during golf season. He loved to play golf and has a few holes in one to his credit! Ken deeply enjoyed spending time with his golf friends and weekly poker buddies. They are treasured friends and always made his day. Ken and Lynn want to give special thanks to Flo Baran, Ken''s "other wife" as he called her, for her constant caring and attentiveness to him and Lynn. They are also grateful for the special care from Donna Dies RN, Hospice of Akron General and health aids Tiffany and Amy. Ken and Lynn want to express their loving gratitude to their grandson, Cory Fisher, for his 24/7 care giving. Without his dedication, Ken would not have had the quality of life that he so wanted until the day he continued on with life''s journey.
