David Emil Fisher, consummate optimist and
valued friend to everyone he ever met,
passed away on Sunday January 30, 2022 in
Naples, FL, shortly before his 91st birthday.

He was surrounded by his loving family.

Bright with life and blessed with a famous
smile, David had a sense of wonder that nev-
er dimmed. He was always curious, fascin-
ated by the world and eager to explore it. To
the end, he was kind and calm, a steadfast
comfort to everyone who needed him. Born
in Germantown, PA, David was a proud Phil-
adelphian all his life: an Eagles fan, Phillies
supporter, and upstanding member of
Philmont Country Club. He attended Central
High, graduated from the Haverford School,
and was an alumnus of Lehigh University’s
Class of 1953, whose reunions he attended
with devotion for decades. He was a member
of the Pi Lambda Phi fraternity. Shortly after
college, David went to serve in the Korean
War. His wife of 67 years, Eloyse Chosiad
Fisher, skipped her own graduation from the
University of Pennsylvania to join him at his
base in Honshu, Japan, where he rose to the
rank of Captain. After his two years of active-
duty service, the couple returned home to
Philadelphia, where David—the third genera-
tion of his family business, Fisher Brothers
Plumbing and Heating, founded in 1890—led
his company’s expansion into five locations
around Delaware and Lehigh Counties. Dur-
ing this time, he and Eloyse raised their three
children, Robin Fisher Solis (a blessed
memory), Stephen (Marci) and Daniel in
Elkins Park, PA. He was a most loving and
supportive father. After retirement twenty
years ago, the couple settled in Naples, Flor-
ida, where David continued to thrive as a
golfer, scoring his first-ever hole-in-one at
his home course, Stonebridge Country Club,
at age 85. But David and Eloyse were always
on the move, traveling to dozens of coun-
tries and exploring 49 of the 50 states. He
had an unerring memory for every trip, and
his amazing sense of direction made their
travels possible. The last night of a trip, Dav-
id was busy planning the next one. In his last
months, David said that his only regret was
that he and Eloyse hadn’t traveled more. He
and Eloyse brought their six cherished grand-
children on many of these trips, from Paris to
Toronto to the Galapagos Islands. He adored
Jamie, Sam, Matt, Julia, Ben, and Rachel,
and spent endless hours talking, traveling,
playing golf with them, and giving them de-
tailed directions for places they may never
see. The night before he passed, he was giv-
ing them travel tips for Maine. David was a
member of several photography clubs, and
as he and wife traveled the world, his camera
never left his side. He left behind a portfolio
of thousands of pictures: careful photo-
graphs of wildlife, local attractions, and his
beloved family. David had a special love for
the Florida Everglades, and enjoyed taking
pictures of bald cypress, air plants, and wa-
terbirds. David’s Judaism was deeply import-
ant to him. He was an active member of the
Jewish community all his life, holding leader-
ship roles at Adath Jeshurun synagogue,
Camp Council, and Golden Slipper Camps of-
ten in roles where he helped children from
disadvantaged backgrounds find their way to
fulfilling careers. For over 20 years, he was a
volunteer for SCORE, where he won a life-
time achievement award for his mentoring of
small business owners, first in Philadelphia
and later in Southwest Florida. All his life
David donated to nearly every charity that
asked him. For many years, he was on the
board of what is now Delaware Valley Uni-
versity. In his last months, David began
mentoring children in Immokalee, work he
kept up even days before his death. He prac-
ticed charity at one of the highest rungs de-
scribed by Maimonides: giving to people he
did not know, never caring for a moment
whether they knew he had done it. He had a
soft and loving heart. The night before David
passed, he had lobster rolls with his wife and
two of his grandchildren. He smiled his beau-
tiful smile as they talked about memories of
their romance and time spent in Japan. A
truly good man and a true mensch, David
was a gentle presence to his last days. He will
be buried in Pennsylvania, beside his be-
loved daughter, Robin.
