Philip M. Fisher

Philip M. Fisher, 61 of Pinnebog died Sunday afternoon, May 11, at Woodland Hospice House, Mt. Pleasant after a long battle with Neuro endocrine (pancreatic) cancer.
He was born June 15, 1952 in Bad Axe to the late John and Helen (McIlhargie) Fisher. Phil grew up in the Pinnebog area and was a 1970 graduate of North Huron High School. After high school Phil served two years in the US Army during the Vietnam era returning home in 1973.

On November 6, 1976, he was united in marriage to Sharon L. Pedler at St. Felix Catholic Church, Pinnebog, where they were faithful members.

Phil had been employed at J O Wurst in Berne for 17 years as a welder retiring in 2012 for health reasons.
Anyone who knew Phil, knew him to be an avid outdoorsman. Hunting and fishing were a big part of his life, which he shared with many. He enjoyed everything about being outside. Whether it was gardening, taking walks or just sitting in his lawn chair listening to the songbirds, he was truly happiest there. Another love of his life was eating. He was married to a wonderful cook who knew the way to his heart. Phil shared so many good times with friends and family over a good meal and a few beers. We will not soon forget the laughter he brought to us all.
