Fisher recognized for saving life

Last fall local resident and fire commissioner John Fisher was at Lighthouse Park when a woman collapsed of an apparent heart attack. As his wife Davea went to summon aid, Fisher applied CPR to the woman until emergency medical aid arrived. His efforts were recognized by Whatcom Count Executive Pete Kremen in an April 1 letter of commendation.

“The time has come for your friends and colleagues to recognize the contributions you have made to Whatcom County and the Point Roberts community.

Thank you for your selflessness and genuine willingness to serve. Your heroic and lifesaving efforts on behalf of Anneliese Jones last October will be remembered and shared with the generations to come.

The highest reward of a person’s toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it. By your actions, you evoke the highest regard from those individuals with whom you have worked and the members of the Point Roberts community whose lives you have touched. Your dedicated service and the generous sharing of your time and talents, far above and beyond the call of duty, have truly made a significant difference in our community.

Best wishes always and thank you for your commitment to your community and your obviously high regard for the sanctity of life.”
