Louis Norman Fishgold, a cherished father and husband, left this world in peace on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, surrounded by his loving family in Phoenix, Arizona, the place he called home for 26 years.
Louie was born on November 28, 1951, in Rochester, New York, to Nathan and Mary Fishgold (née Rusczak). He had a striking work ethic from a young age and, together with the mother of his children and his brother David, built one of the largest wholesale produce distribution centers in Upstate New York. His iconic FISHGOLD trucks were renowned, traversing coast to coast.
Louie was always one for stories, tall tales, and memories he wanted others to treasure. His favorite things in life included children, animals, golf, and racing his '68 GTO.
He is survived by his wife and best friend of nearly 30 years, Marcy Fishgold, as well as his four children Amy Fishgold Lassiter (Fred), James Fishgold (Camela), Julie Lopez (David), Jeffrey N. Fishgold, and their mother Margaret "Peggy" Steimer (Kearney), his nine grandchildren Jerald Walden Jr., Janaya Marshall, Jordan Marshall, Destiny Mendoza, Louis Mendoza, Liliana Lopez, Jeffrey A. Fishgold, Jacob Fishgold, Mikayla Fishgold, and great-grandchild Jazelle "Zelly" Marshall, his brother David Fishgold (Jodi Sherman), niece Carlie Fishgold (Ehren Stark), and nephews Maximilian Fishgold and Simon Fishgold.
A memorial service will be held Friday, September 22 at Valley of the Sun Funeral Home in Chandler, Arizona at 2:00 pm. May he rest forever in a place where he finds peace, joy & mischief.
