Roger Fischer

Roger H. Fischer Sr. 87 of 602 N 14th Street in Sheboygan passed away at home with his family at his
side on Thursday March 26, 2020. He was born on July 4, 1932 in Sheboygan Wisconsin to David and
Elizabeth (Rossell) Fischer. Roger graduated from Harvard High School in 1952. He was drafted into the
Army on Jan. 7, 1953. He was stationed in Korea till he was honorably discharged in December 1954. He
was united in marriage to his best friend and the love of his life Sandra J. Zelko on September 22, 1956 at
Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Sheboygan where he has been a member ever since.
Roger had exceptional American work ethic; he wouldn't hesitate to put in the work for his family or what
he believed in. This was exemplified through his work history from farming as a kid, to returning from
the service to work at Park and Shop, then crafting chairs at a furniture company, while spending his
evenings helping out at the Stardust outdoor theatre, and finally found his niche working for the
Sheboygan Area School District until he retired.
Roger enjoyed all sports. He coached his children, grandchildren and many other family members and
friends in softball. He was known by everybody as Pops. He was the biggest fan of all the softball teams.
You would see him many summer evenings at the ballpark. He enjoyed going to Packers, Brewers,
Wisconsin, and Bucks games.
He was a movie buff and his collection equaled that of any video store. The video store even referred
customers to Roger when they didn’t have an old movie the customer was looking for. In fact, he spent
many hours coordinating his free movie lending service to ensure any who wanted to take part could. He
loved sharing the happiness he got from the movies with others.
He enjoyed swimming and hiking with his family. They shared many family trips and Sunday drives. He
was always there to give anybody a ride. It could be anytime night or day no matter how close or far he
had to go.
Roger was survived by his wife Sandy of 63 years, 6 children, 21 grandchildren, 40 great-grandchildren
and 1 great-great grandchild.
