I don't know where to start. Mr Fisher, as I jokingly called him, was a fixture at Learjet. He & the other pilots were always working on tests and certifications with the new planes as they came along. It could be tedious & make for long days, but Mr Fisher did his best to keep the atmosphere light & tolerable. He had a great group & everyone liked him immensely. He made a big difference for everyone he interacted with. He was appreciated. Linda and I worked together for years and became friends. We send our sincere condolences to she and the children in this difficult time.

So sad to hear about Bob. Just saw him at a Learjet event about three weeks ago. Got to chat a bit. He remembered me. My dear hubby, Pete Reynolds worked for him oh so many years ago. Bob was his first boss at Learjet. Early seventies perhaps. We had many great times at Beaver Lake at Fishers cabin.
