Dr. Walter G. (Wally) Fisher
Knoxville - Dr. Walter G. Fisher (Wally), age 57, left this earth far too soon on March 26, 2020.

He moved to Knoxville in 1992 to work for ORNL. He helped start up Photogen Biopharmaceuticals (Provectus) and then his own company, Galt Technologies.
Wally was a generous, eccentric soul. His brilliant mind, loving heart, high energy and colorful vocabulary will be missed by all who had the privilege to know and love him. A celebration of Wally's life will be announced at a future date. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to charities of your choosing in his name.
