Allan Scott

Fisher

Attorney Allan Scott Fisher, 83, of Toledo, Ohio, departed this earth on Monday, May 25th, 2026 at Hospice of NW Ohio with his loving daughter by his side.

Born in Urbana, Ohio on June 4th, 1942 Allan was the second child of Harry Moore Fisher and Betty Jane (Scott) Fisher. He attended Urbana High School, where he excelled academically and athletically, graduating at the top of his class in 1960. A "Hillclimber" to the end, he always "shouted out" his hometown high school with unwavering pride. Allan received academic and athletic scholarship offers to attend Case Western, Dartmouth College and Miami University; choosing the later in order to stay close to home so that family and friends could attend home games.

Upon graduating from Miami University, Allan took the San Diego Chargers up on their invitation to try out for the team but a previous injury reared its ugly head and prevented him from completing the session. As previously planned, he headed to The University of Toledo School of Law to start his new journey, graduating with his Doctor of Jurisprudence in June of 1972. He was admitted to the bar that same year in November and held membership with the Toledo and Ohio State Bar Association.

He started his law career at ABLE (Advocates for Basic Legal Equality) in Toledo, Ohio and continued in private practice for more than 40 years, retiring in 2015. Always an advocate for the people, he worked closely with colleague Eddie McCroom Esq, the first equal employment opportunity lawyer for the State of Ohio, to create legislation that insured minorities would be hired and included in contracts issued by the state. Colleagues and clients alike knew him as a man who listened carefully, spoke thoughtfully, and stood firmly by his principles.

Allan was a lover of sports and enjoyed basketball, football and boxing. Not only did he enjoy watching sports, but he loved to play! Every once in a while, you could find him down at the basketball court at "The Pond" taking it to the hole and talking a lil junk with the kids. Ever evolving, he had a passion for history, music and travelling. He also enjoyed watching his favorite westerns (where he would always cheer for the "Indians") and spending time with close friends and family. Mr. Fisher was not one to miss a good meal and loved to grab his favorite, a good 'ol hamburger and milkshake, often reminding daughter Nicole how cheap of a date he was as they explored the cuisine, architecture and bustling city of Atlanta, his home for the last eight years.

Out of all of the things he loved to watch, eat, see and experience, none compared to spending time with the person he loved the most, his only child and "twin", daughter Nicole, who was born from the union to first wife Christine (Lesley Harper, Jr).

Allan started his journey of faith early, becoming a member of their family church, St Paul A.M.E in Urbana, Ohio, as a child. Prior to his move to Atlanta Georgia, he was a member of First Church of God and part of the M.O.V.E. Men's ministry.

Allan is preceded by his parents, brother Anthony Stanton Fletcher, sister Carole Fisher-Walker, nephew Ivan Walker and good friend Ronnie A. Jenkins. Left to cherish his memory is his daughter Nicole Fisher (Toledo / Atlanta), step-son Kevin Bailey, former spouse Sylvia Fisher, "special daughter" Miyoshi Bills, nieces, grand-nieces / nephews, cousins and a host of friends. Of particular note, the friends he met while at Smyrna Towers, where he was lovingly dubbed "The King" 😊
