Conesus Lake: February 25, 2017 at age 77 years. Predeceased by his parents Bernard & Orlina Fischer and his wife, Marie Fischer. Survived by his sons; Bernard “Bud” Fischer of Conesus, Mark Fischer of Ohio, and Glenn (Lesley) Fischer of Ohio. Grandchildren; Tom Donovan, Mike Donovan, Donna Marie Fischer, Donnie Fischer, Richie Fischer, Amanda Fischer, Marquelle Fischer, Drew Fischer, Cadi Fischer, and Ben Fischer. Great-granddaughter Cory Donovan. Also survived by his sister Joyce Larson of Geneseo, many other loving family and friends.

It’s difficult to reduce 77 years of life to a few words. His roots were deep and relationships were long. He had one wife, Marie. He had one employer, Xerox. He had one house that he built on Conesus Lake. He didn’t embrace change but at the same time seemed to fill his life with enough variety to keep it interesting.

His interest included Fishing, Hunting, NASCAR (Jeff Gordon), the weather, Buffalo Sabres, New York Yankees, and he suffered with much of Ohio as a diehard Cleveland Browns fan. However, all of those interests took a back seat to anything that his grandchildren were involved in. There was an unmistakable tone of joy within his voice and laugh when he was relaying stories of something one of the grandkids had done. Through the lives of his grandchildren, he experienced athletic success, enjoyed the chemistry and unique bond that comes with identical twins, academic success, military service, and countless other triumphs.

“Pops” was a good friend to many and every one of his friends has a memory full of laughs or funny stories. He knew what was right but never forced his way of thinking on others.
