So sad to hear about Gus. I ran track with him at McClellan and played baseball with him at Geyer Spring Ballpark, playing for Pricket Dairy. He was a heck of an athlete and a lot of fun to be around. Mrs. Fisher never missed a game…I can still see and hear her cheering us on.
Sheri Ann and family, we are so sad to hear about Gus. It has been many years since we saw you. We were friends and neighbors when we lived in Arkadelphia.
Prayers for you and family during this time.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family in their time of grief. May God give you comfort for the loss of your loved one. Cassady, you are especially in my thoughts and prayers, may.God give you strength during this time.
Deepest sympathy to the Fisher family. I am so sorry for your loss. Gus was part of our Class of ’71 MacPac and there are many memories of our times together to cherish. He will not be forgotten. Rest In Peace Gus.
Gus was a very close friend, I feel for the families loss. He always had a fishing story and friendly advice. I will miss him for the rest of my life,
