Rodney W. Fisk, 81, of Enfield, CT, passed away Thursday, January 3, 2019, in Naples, FL. Born in Springfield, on December 22, 1937, he was the son of the late Noyes M. and Elizabeth (Wetzel) Fisk. A graduate of Classical High School and the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Rodney then went on to receive his CPA. He was an accountant at Coopers & Lybrand, then went on to form Fisk, Bilton & Smith, P.C. In 1961, Rodney married and will be dearly missed by the love of his life, who he cherished for the past fifty-seven years, Elaine (Evans) Fisk. They settled in Longmeadow where they raised their three beautiful children. Rodney loved playing golf and was a member of the Tradesmen Golf League at Chicopee Country Club for over thirty-five years.
