My memories of Chuck Fisher

I would like to share my memories of Chuck.
I was a camper in the summer of 1974 at Camp Echo.
Chuck was a hell of a guy. I was all of 12 years old. He used to make pizza for the bunk that was rewarded with being the cleanest. We won 7 out of the 8 weeks. I remember one story very clearly though. Chuck was very gracious and let us come up to his office to visit him and sometimes take a piece of Candy. One time though an emergency occurred. While we were standing outside his office he quickly noticed an unauthorized vehicle careening on the girls side. Chuck happened to have his gun holstered on his hip. I’ll never forget that. He pulled it out and took off.
It was so obvious that he was there to protect everyone. He ran a great camp because he ran a tight ship with a Jewish tradition.
He was a caring, loving man.
As it turns out, my wife’s children,
my step-children, were campers of Camp Echo as well. My Step-daughter Lisa is so connected to the camp that her 2 beautiful children, our Grandchildren, Harris and Alexa and my step-son Neil’s daughter, Lyla all became long term Camp Echoers. We wish Chucks family peace and solace in knowing that he touched so many lives and had a profound and everlasting positive effect on those who knew him.

Chuck Fisher holds a very special place in my heart. In 1994 I was 7 going on 8 when I began my first summer at camp echo. First time being away as a kid and of course was nervous. My stay and my time at camp echo was the best time of my life from the second I got off the bus. I had a special relationship with Chuck and all of you guys. I’ll never forget our talks as I’m coming off the tennis court and my trailer parties and all the special moments we shared. Because of him and the Fishe family the place I came to for 2 months every year was the best and most memorable times, which lasted until I was 20 years old. We still spoke on Facebook at times and he always checked in. He will NEVER be forgotten. My best to Debbie, Amy Eric and the entire Fisherfamily. ❤️❤️❤️ -Jared Berse
