Ira H. Fisher, 67, of Cameron, LA formerly of North Platte passed away August 24, 2015, in Lake Charles, LA after a 22 month battle with lung cancer.

He was born in North Platte to Tommy and Norma Fisher.  He grew up and attended North Platte Public Schools.  On April 19, 1965, he married Berneta “Bert” Schroeder Weber.  The two were married 42 years before her death in 2007.  Ira was a railroad machinist retiring after 28 years of service.  He loved spending the winter months in Toledo Bend, TX, fishing and bought a shrimp boat in 2012.  There was always a little bit of Bubba Gump in him!  He especially enjoyed his dogs, hunting, shrimping on his boat, looking for Pinkie the dolphin on the shrimp boat, alligator watching, walking the Gulf of Mexico to collect shells, and being a fishing guide at Toledo Bend.  On December 28, 2012, he married Deborah Dyson.
