                         HONORING ROBERT FISHER

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JARED HUFFMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, September 8, 2015

  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Robert Fisher, who 
passed away on July 17 in Fairfax, California, at the age of 68. A 
nearly-lifelong Marin resident and community leader, he will be 
remembered for his unyielding efforts to better lives in Marin City and 
beyond.
   From an early age, Mr. Fisher cared deeply about others. He moved to 
Marin City a year after his birth, and attended high school and college 
in the North Bay. He first ran for office at the age of 23, serving on 
the Sausalito-Marin City School District board and later, for the Marin 
City Community Services District board. He also worked as a student 
counselor at his alma mater, the College of Marin, and became an 
engineer by profession.
   Mr. Fisher's efforts will continue to impact lives long after his 
passing. He was involved with the Marin City Health and Wellness 
Center, Bayside Martin Luther King Jr. School, and the recently-opened 
Rocky Graham Park. A new community center for Marin City--one of his 
dreams--has begun the planning process.
   Robert Fisher's lifetime dedication to public service exemplifies an 
inspirational spirit of generosity and a model for others to follow. It 
is therefore appropriate that we pay tribute to him today and express 
our deepest condolences to his wife, Agnes, his sister, Lue Ann, and 
his children.
