Marsh Fisher, who co-founded real estate franchisor Century 21 in 1971 in Orange County, Calif., died of natural causes Friday in Pomona, Calif. He was 88.
Fisher — who flew B-25 bombers in World War II — founded Century 21 as a regional franchise with Art Bartlett, who passed away in 2009.
After selling the business in 1979, Fisher went on to a career in technology, creating IdeaFisher software, an application promoting associative thinking.
Fisher is survived by his first wife of 19 years, Barbara Fisher; children: Jess Fisher, Cynthia Fisher-Davidson, and Heidi Fisher; brother: Jay Fisher; son-in-law: Doug Davidson; and grandchildren: Calyssa and Caden Davidson.
