Mr. Fischer spent his retirement years living in Camarillo. He was an avid reader and frequent visitor to the Camarillo Public Library.
Russell Fischer passed away in 2006 and left an endowment that funds the Russell Fischer Business Collection. We honor his memory with the ongoing development of the collection and its services.
