Fisher of men: Pastor's ministry remembered
Assistant Pastor Tim Boden and Pastor David Fisher at the Homeacre Chapel in Butler on December 9, 2016. Fisher died June 13.
Led church for over 65 years
For more than 65 years, David Fisher preached every Sunday at the Homeacre Chapel, where he served as pastor since 1956.
His work in the church and in the community as pastor permeated every aspect of his life, with people always approaching him when facing hardship.
“Our family dinners were often interrupted with a phone call,” said Becky Ray, Fisher's daughter, of Penn Township. “That was all part of growing up as a preacher's kid. He was on call 24/7.”
Fisher died June 13 at the age of 90, and Ray said he had continued preaching until only a few months before his death.
