William Fisk Obituary

Bill was so good to me when I was a photography student. I missed seeing him in the shop after he retired. So sorry that I only found out about his passing now. He was a great fellow to know and we always had good talks when I would stop in.

Thanks for a great start in my lifetime career in photography, Bill and the Fisk family! Bill sold my Dad my first camera, a Kodak Brownie Flashmate 20 and sold and helped me with my first film SLR in 1972, a Minolta SRT102. I´m now retired from a career in photo finishing, architectural photography, photography and imagery analysis for a U.S. government agency, and photography education. I´ll always remember how Bill took care of all our family´s photo needs.

I am so sorry that LaRue and I were not aware of Bill's passing. When we lived just a few doors from his camera shop we knew Bill and his family; they were all very friendly to all the surrounding neighbors. Bill and Peggy and Billy and Barbara Ann will always be remembered by us as a loving and caring family. Rest in peace until God calls us all home. Blessings to all. Bob

Dear Fisk family,
It is with much sadness (and way too late) that I just learned of dear Mr. Fisk's passing.
I knew him & Peg from my many years at Victaulic - where Bill came in several times a week to do all our pictures & prints- long before cell phone cameras. He was always kind & professional but he was your friend! I thank God I met him & his dear family through work.
May he rest in peace. My condolences to his dear family.
"Well Done Good & Faithful Servant".

I always enjoyed anytime I would run into Bill and have a little chat. He always greeted you with a smile and a gleam in his eye.
Rest in peace, my friend

Bill and family,
Bob and I are so saddened to hear of your father´s passing. "Mr. Fisk"...the name is synonymous with family, community, and all around great man! Our families were all customers of your father´s, but more importantly, we were all proud to call him a friend. As your father and I teamed up to take pictures for the football program, I can hear him saying, "Nancy, I still remember taking your cheerleading picture!" His kind smile will be missed by us all!
Love, Nancy and Bob Freidl

Billy, Sparky and family. I was greatly saddened by the death of Bill. He was a wonderful man that will be missed by all.

Sending our sincere sympathy and love to your entire family.

Bill Fisk was friends with my parents when I was a young boy and lived up the street. I knew his son and daughter. He was one of the nicest men I ever met. He will be surely missed.

What a great person he was. Our deepest sympathy, Sue&Mike Hahn

Our heartfelt sympathy to the Fisk family.

Mr. Fisk became a friend to every customer. He was a friend to the whole community. The love in his heart was evident by how he lived his life and shared his time and talents with others. Bill passed his values to his family, who follow in his selfless footsteps. God's peace to his family.

Barbara and family, please accept my deepest sympathies.

I've been going to Fisk for 45years Bill always gave good advice on cameras and supplies. He was always ready to answer questions and was always ready for a good conversation. He will be missed.

Our condolences to Billy, Barbara, and the entire family. He was truly a one-of-a-kind, iconic figure in Wilson Borough and the surrounding community. If you grew up in "the Boro", there was no way you could not have known Bill. His ever present smile, warm and caring personality, and willingness to help anyone anytime were a hallmark of our living there. The many memorable chats in the camera shop were as valuable and pleasant as any photography service or advice. A lifelong friend of my father (WHS `45) and mother (WHS `43), I can only imagine that St. Peter has his hands full with both couples now. Rest in peace.

Sparky, Billy and family, I am so saddened to hear of Bill's passing. For many years we were friends and patrons of the shop. Bill always had a smiling face and was so generous and helpful. Our prayers go out to you and your family.

Marsha and I were saddened to read of the passing of Mr Fisk. He was truly an iconic individual in Wilson Boro who understood the importance of family and community service. I have known Mr Fisk since he took my little league baseball picture through his assisting Billy take my grandchildren´s sports pictures. I had many conversations with Mr Fisk during his walk past our house on Hay St. until we moved to Maryland. He also was a good friend of my father. He will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Fisk family.

My deepest sympathy to toBilly and the Fisk family on the passing of your father. MAY HE REST IN PEACE.

Dear Fisk Family,
Your wonderful father and grandfather graduated from Wilson HS, Class of 1945, with our father, Jack Young. They so enjoyed planning the class reunions together over all of the years and remained good friends. My parents always spoke so highly of both of your parents. Your Dad always had a smile on his face and was so friendly. He was truly such a wonderful man and loved Wilson Borough as much as my father did! Myself along with my sisters, Diane Weidner and Patricia Gessner send our condolences to you all. May He Rest in Peace.

What a sweet, sweet person! Back in the day I took all of my film over there to be developed. I usually went over from P'burg on my lunch hour. I bought a camera and then a zoom lens from him. He and Mrs. Fisk were always so friendly and kind. The highest compliment I can give is to say that he was a genuinely nice man. My sincerest condolences to the family.

My condolences to the Fisk family. I remember Mr Fisk in the camera shop giving out advice about all things photo.

we are so sorry to hear of Bill`s passing. Fisk was my place to go all the time that I had cameras. and bought three or four maybe more from him. I actually have a pile of slides to bring in that I want made into photos. A wonderful man. Blessings to you all from
Alan and Marty Schaeffer.

Growing up in the borough, there where time I spent exploring people and places.
Mr. Fisk very passionate about photography and his store. To visit him at his shop and experience the joy he had about what he did really rubbed off on me and I got to see first hand what it meant to be driven. I am thankful to him for passing this on to me in a way as I guess his inspiration passed onto my musical drive. His love for his family was quite apparent. Prayers coming and hello to his son,Billy, all the way from here in Las Vegas! R.I.P. kind sir and many thanks! Jimmy

Very nice person that I met. If he could help he sure would try to. He was a great neighbor that I had the time when I lived next door to him. He will be surely missed

Very saddened to read of Bill's passing but very glad to see the many good things he left in this world. He was devoted to his family, community of Wilson, country, and his passion to help others. I bought my first film camera, a Minolta, from him. He and his wife were always helpful as I tried to become a "great" photographer. That never happened, but their advice and kindness was wonderful. My condolences to his family.

My sincere sympathy to the Fisk family. I would see Bill everyday on his walk around the boro. He would always say hello . He would also leave photos he took at different sporting events at Wilson High of my daughters. Truly a kind and warm man. RIP Bill.

Billy & Barbara, I was saddened to hear of your father´s passing. He was one of the nicest men I ever met. I so enjoyed seeing him & chatting with him at the store. He, and ur mother, were great people. They´re missed. I hope fond memories help to sustain you during this difficult time. With deepest sympathy, Jeanne Mentesana Dold

Sorry to hear of Mr. Fisk's passing. If you lived in Wilson, you knew Mr. Fisk. He was a kind and friendly man. Everyone got their cameras from Mr. Fisk and he was a big supporter of the community. We had many great conversations with him through the years. Condelences to his family. He left his mark on many.

So sad to hear this. A terrible loss for so many. Bill was the best--such a wonderful nice guy who helped me and so many others with photography. I miss those old film days, seeing Bill in the store, starting in the early 1970's, when I went to Fisk's Camera so many times for film and darkroom supplies or a camera. I'll never forget him. RIP Bill. Condolences to Billy, Sparky and the Fisk family.

One of Wilson best and will be missed. Can not say enough good things about you. Thank you, Bill, for all you did for Wilson. Rest in peace my friend.
