GAINESVILLE, Fla. – It is with deep sadness that the University of Florida Warrington College of Business shares the loss of one of its alumni and greatest supporters – Frederick E. Fisher (BSBA Accounting ’59). The namesake of the Fisher School of Accounting passed on September 25 at the age of 92.
“Fred made a real difference in the lives of everyone he touched. The University of Florida and Fisher School of Accounting are major recipients of both his generosity and insight,” said Gary McGill, Senior Associate Dean and Director of the Fisher School of Accounting and Hough Graduate School of Business. “Fred was a visionary. And he had a special talent for pushing others to take on the hard challenges to make things not just better, but much better. He used that talent a lot on me over the last three decades, and I’m a better person for it.”
