Robert Lee Fisher, SMU 1976 -1980, TE has passed away.
Bob and I were Freshmen and TE together.
Bob was the Boys Club Boy of the Year in 1976 in California. He was athletic, dynamic and a great person.
He was one of the few high quality recruits in Coach Ron Meyer's first recruiting class. He plays 3 years in the NFL and one year in the USFL.
Later he became VP of western sales for Turtle Wax.
Bob had a very out going personality. Always good humor unless someone crossed him. Then he was a real warrior. He played hard and was a 12th round draft pick.
His passing brings me much grief and I extend my most heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.
He was one of a kind and one of the foundations for the future success of SMU football.
