Like many who went through the Centerville school system I too had Mr. Fisk as my science teacher in junior high. Like most immature teens I never truly appreciated how lucky I was to have a teacher of his caliber. Mr. Fisk, like all of my teachers in Centerville had an impact on who I have become as an adult... for that I am truly thankful. I send my condolences to Jim's family and friends. God Bless, Jeff Kelley Class of 1980
I went to church with Mr. Fisk for most of my childhood...he always had a smile and a story for me and my brother and sister. I also remember one Christmas when things were especially tight and someone left a card on our front stoop with $50 in it. Mr. Fisk wouldn't take credit for it but we know that it was him. He made our Christmas that year and I will never forget that. He was a wonderful person and I have many fond memories of him. May God bless the family at this time.
James was a great Christian man and I know he will be missed. He could always tell me the history and background of anything I am him.
James was a great human being. Our class was the first to graduate from Howar Junior High and he was our science teacher. Science wasn't my favorite class but he did make it more interesting, knew the material very well. Our condolences to his family.
Mr. Fisk was my 8th grade teacher at Moravia back in 1954-55. The first day of school was just a half day. I went home and told my parents that I learned more in half-a-day than I learned in the entire 7th grade. Great teacher.
Mr. Fisk, Thanks for putting up with all of us youngsters so many years ago, I know we probably gave you some grief but you did give us a great lesson, I remember some very funny things from your class but the one that comes to mind the most is you taking away my slinky, I know I shouldn't have brought it to my class, also my classmate I will not mention having the bone cadaver out of the closet trying to dance with it around 1979 I think that was the year. Thank you for giving so much to so many of us. Your memory lives with us. Brian K. Harrington
I was sorry to hear of Mr. Fisk's passing. I have fond memories of him as my 8th-grade science teacher. My condolences to his family and friends. Sincerely, Winona Lawson Whitaker
Mr. Fisk was my junior high science teacher and I never gave much thought to him being anymore than that. However, in years past I would run into him around Centerville and realized what a nice man he was. He knew alot about geneology and I enjoyed the visits. Peace and God's blessing to Jim's family.
