FISHER – Oliver Benjamin “Benny”, 82, of Southwest Port Mouton, Queens County, passed away peacefully at home on August 18, 2022.
Born in Southwest Port Mouton, Benny was son of the late Victor and Pearle Fisher.
Benny enjoyed hunting in his younger years as well as going for many drives and spent much time on Summerville Beach. He worked at C. W.

Later, he was hired by Mosher and Rawding as a crane operator and helped build the TMP plant at Bowater Mersey Paper Company in Brooklyn. Most of all, since his retirement, Benny loved to spend time with his family.

He loved his grandchildren Chris and Dwayne, Tina, Tanya and Melissa, Damon and Kayla, Hailey, Jaren and Justin, Jessica and Nolan and his great grandchildren Jaden, Jacob, Nate, Emmett and Kinsley, Makalya, Kera, Leigha and Jenna, Ethan, Oliver and Chase.
