Charlie passed away Wednesday, September 2, 2009 at St. Benedict?s Health Center, Dickinson, ND. Charles Anton Fisher was born October 4, 1915 in Stark County, ND to Lyle and Anna (Dvorak) Fisher. He grew up on the family farm and attended Versippe School. After school he continued to work on the farm. The family moved to the farm in Dunn County. On October 27, 1936 Charlie and Myra Beatrice (Kubik) were married in Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in New Hradec, ND. He worked for WPA for a short period of time. Charlie worked side by side with his wife and built their farm as they made their living and raised their family on the farm. The couple continued to live on the farm until they retired in 1976 and moved to Dickinson. Charlie continued to help on the farm and enjoyed his trips there, especially during the harvest season, as this was his favorite time of year. After Myra passed away Charlie moved to Pioneer Haven and eventually to St. Benedict?s Health Center. Charlie always provided for his family and made sure they never went without. He often spoke of the difficult times during the Depression years. Charlie loved music, reading, dancing, playing cards and going to rummage sales. In his earlier years, he enjoyed riding horse, as he moved the cows from pasture to pasture. He was extremely proud of his children and grandchildren and enjoyed visiting and spending time with family and friends. Charlie had a strong belief in the Lord and always did what was right and honest. He was a member of Eagles Club, Knights of Columbus, Farmers Union, and St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church. Charlie is survived by his daughters, Eileen Ereth, Beverly Larson and Diane Wood; son, Charles (Carma) Fisher; grandchildren, Michelle (Brad) Dwyer, Wade (Rayanna) Larson, Melissa Rapp, Trisha Morrell, Kara (Chris) Bekooy and Megan Fisher; six great grandchildren and a sister, Emma Kadrmas.
