Wade began his grocery career in Hopkins Grocery on North Chadbourne while in his teens and never left the grocery business. He worked for "M" System for many years before purchasing his first store Marx Street Grocery in the early '70's. In 1983 God gave the family the opportunity to build a location in Grape Creek and named it Fisher's Food Mart. He worked in this store where ever he was needed. He loved his customers and felt more at home in this location. He will be remembered by his customers for the "best meat in town" as he loved working in the meat market.
In lieu of flowers donations to Hospice of San Angelo would be appreciated.
