J.L. “Kinard” Fisher, 91, of Salisbury, passed away Tuesday, September 19, 2017. He was born February 18, 1926, in Rowan County to the late Lewis Ray and Gladys Trexler Fisher.
Mr. Fisher was a 1943 graduate of Rockwell High School and was a veteran of the U.S. Army serving with the 382nd Station Hospital in WWII and with the 346th Engineers during the Korean War. For his service to his country, he was awarded the WWII Victory Medal and Army of Occupation Medal.
