Albert Daniel Fisher, 84, Scranton, ND died unexpectedly Saturday morning, March 1, 2008 at West River Health Services hospital in Hettinger, ND following minor surgery. Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Wednesday, March 5th at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Scranton at 10:00 a.m. with burial to follow mass at the Sacred Heart Catholic Cemetery. Rosary/wake service will be held Tuesday evening at 7:00 p.m. at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Father Chad Gion will celebrate the Mass.
Albert was born December 3, 1923 in Dunn County, ND near Dickinson to Anton and Agnes (Pavlicek) Fisher. He was the youngest of eight children. The family relocated and homesteaded South of Gascoyne, ND in the late 1920's. Albert farmed the same family homestead until his retirement in 1991.
Albert attended elementary school in Haley south of Scranton and two years of high school in Gascoyne. It was three miles to school and the Fisher siblings went on a one-horse buggy. When he was the only one still going to school, he rode his horse every day.
Albert proudly served his country when he was inducted into the U.S. army on November 16, 1944 and he was honorably discharged on May 17, 1945 when he had to return home to help on the family farm following the death of his brother, George, while serving his country. He was a longtime member of the American Legion in Scranton.
Albert married Carleen M. Olson on August 31, 1946 at the Olson family home near Bowman, ND. They owned and operated the Corner Bar in Gascoyne and farmed south of Gascoyne. They continued to live on the farm until moving into Scranton in 1967. They then owned and operated Pugy's Pub and Lucky 4 Lanes from 1967 to 1975, and continued to farm south of Gascoyne. After 1975 they spent the summers living on the farm and the winters living in Scranton until their retirement from farming in 1992. Albert continued to visit the farm almost daily to garden in the summer, feed the cats, and let his precious friend Sheba go for a run down the road while he traveled behind her until she was ready to ride again.
Albert was a very hard worker all his life. He was a sheep herder and shearer. He worked in the underground coal mine in Scranton and ran a caterpillar for the Gascoyne Mine uncovering coal; he also ran a hotel/restaurant in Scranton. He worked at the Scranton Grain Elevator during the winter months after he took over the family farm. Some of his most enjoyable memories were owning and operating the Corner Bar in Gascoyne and Pugy's Pub in Scranton because he enjoyed being around people.
He and his wife, Carleen, were very social and were amazing dancers. Albert was very involved in community service activities in Scranton through the years and he also served on the Scranton town board for many years.
Most of his life, Albert was an avid fisherman. He enjoyed hunting and taking hunters out to his farm for pheasant and deer hunting. He also enjoyed traveling, especially to see his children, grand children and other relatives and friends. He loved to garden and gave away most of what he grew and he ate or canned the rest. When Carleen got ill and with her passing in 2004, his family and friends found out that he was an excellent cook and baker. You could always get a spirited conversation about his team, the Minnesota Twins, who should have hired him to coach them years ago.
Albert's favorite times were when his family was at home. He was a wonderful dad and grandpa and he took great pride in the many ways he could spoil his grandchildren. The other joy of his life was his constant companion, his little dog, Sheba.
Albert was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, Carleen, one son, Craig Fisher, one infant daughter, two siblings who died in infancy, Edward and Sophie, one sister, Lillian Symanowski, and three brothers, George, Tony, and Charlie.
He is survived by one daughter and son-in-law, Lori and Rex Caldwell, Spearfish, SD; three sons and two daughters-in-law, Rodney and Rhonda Fisher, Highlands Ranch, CO, Rocky and Valerie Fisher, Draper, UT, and Monte Fisher, Lewiston, TX; six granddaughters, Chantel (Pat) White, Charisa (Eric) Smaldone, Bailey and Kenzie Caldwell, and Casey and Carly Fisher, three great-grandsons, Hunter, Cooper, and Grady White, one great-granddaughter, Addison Smaldone, one sister, Agnes Kralicek, Glen Ullin, one sister-in-law, Judy Fisher, Dickinson, and many nieces and nephews who were all very special to him and who thought the world of their Uncle Albert.
Pallbearers are Cy Fulton, Sherman Oakland, Allen Eldridge, Gary Symanowski, Pat White, Jim Fisher, Lannie Ness, and Alan Anderson. Honorary pallbearers are all of his friends and family and his best friend, Sheba. Special music will be provided by Lenny Fischer. Krebsbach Funeral Service of Bowman is in charge of the arrangements.
