Frank Benjamin Fisher
FISHER: Frank Benjamin Fisher, age 82, passed away May 1, 2025, with family by his side. Frank was born in Pittsburgh to Dr. Morris and Myrtle Fisher. Frank was raised in Pittsburgh and attended Taylor Allderdice High School. He was an Adelphi member with what turned out to be his lifelong friends, before earning his bachelor’s degree from the University of Pittsburgh and serving in the Air Force Reserve. While in Pittsburgh he met the love of his life and his wife of over 59 years, Lynn Caplan. Frank and Lynn traveled the country with his career in the homebuilding and mortgage business. Frank loved helping coach his sons’ Little League Baseball team, and still enjoyed discussing their World Series wins 40 years later. His love for the Pittsburgh Steelers never waned, and he made sure to watch their games every Sunday. He loved cars and car magazines, and he could tell you the year and model of any car on the road. He loved spending time with his granddaughters Morgan and Madeline, happily spoiling them with whatever they wanted. When Frank got to laughing about something, it often ended up with him crying from laughing so hard — which then caused everyone else to laugh just as hard. He leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter and the occasional inappropriate joke. Frank is preceded in death by his parents, and his sister Grace Fisher (husband Monte Wasch). He is survived by his wife, Lynn, who tirelessly cared for him while his health declined from Parkinson’s disease, and their two sons and their families — Reid Fisher of Dallas, and Todd Fisher and his wife, Samantha, of Dallas, with their children Morgan and Madeline. He is also survived by his sisters Estelle Comay (and husband Dr. Bruce Rabin) and Susan Fisher (and husband Gary Schieneman), and his brother Gordon Fisher (and husband Wesley Scott). Donations can be made to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, or the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network in honor of his sister Grace. PJC
