Dear Papa Don,
 
Thank you for all of the wonderful memories I have with you.  I'm going to miss seeing you at the house and laughing at all of your jokes.  You were always so kind and caring, making sure that your family was always taken care of.  You've touched so many people throughout your life, it's just amazing to think about.  I know you are in a better place now, but you are definitely missed here.  I can just picture how happy Hobbes must have been to see you again.  I'm sure the two of you are up there playing fetch, cuddling, and bird watching every day.  I know that you will always be with us in spirit, and for that I am thankful.  This is not a good-bye, this is until we meet again.

Love,
Michelle

With my heartfelt, deepest condolences and prayers to my dear Frann and Family.
It is within my heart a feeling of such a great loss of a true, loving, sincere, wonderful person and a true friend to Bill and me, our girls Aimee and Megan and their families. 
I feel such grief and sadness on Don's passing.  I know he is with my Bill, and know they are in a better place with no more suffering.  However, Frann's and my grief is quite strong and unbearable, missing them so;   however the Lord gives us our strength to survive and go on.
Bill and I have had the pleasure to share several years with Don and his loving, wonderful, caring wife (my cousin Franny).   We had so many memories with Don and Frann along with their sons and our girls. 
Spending much time in their lovely home, enjoying drinks, jokes, good food and such warmth and hospitality.  Never wanting the evening to end.  Also such wonderful fun and good times on Don's boat.  Such wonderful, memories I will never forget and love.  
After 3 years of my loss of Bill, life goes on.   I am trying to be with my loving, dear friend and cousin Frann.  Trying to be there with love and support on her heart breaking journey.
We are sharing tears, love, laughter and comfort for each other; sharing stories and helping each other through the good times we remember with our spouses, who we will love to the end of time.
Now we have each other to lean on and feel that sense of security, relief and love knowing what each other is feeling.  Hoping this will continue always as I truly need her as she really needs me.  We will continue that bond forever, hoping I can help her through this rough, rough time.
Don will always be remembered, loved and missed in my heart.
With Sincere Love and Prayers,
Your Loving Cousin, 
 Dinah`~

Dad
I will miss you.  I will always remember the great times we had, the lessons you taught me, the way you helped me become the person I am today.  I will never forget when I was little how cool I thought it was that you could throw a ball all the way over our house to me in the backyard.   I remember riding in the wheelbarrow when you were helping neighbors with projects, cookouts in the driveway, and you on your float in my little pool.  
As I got older, I remember staying with you at your apartment and the time we  decided to go to the local carnival when I should had been in bed; eating crabs at the A-1 and Schultz's.   I remember setting off rockets near the Air National Guard Base and soon after the fighter jets would circle overhead.  But mostly, I remember how you were always there for me; like the time you spent the night with me in the hospital and when I was picked up by the police for collecting road cones with my friend.
Thank you Dad for raising me to believe in God and because of that I know you have gone home to be with Him.  That He has healed you and restored you to good health.  Although I can no longer reach out and give you a hug, or call you to come get me when my car breaks down, I know you are still with me.  I know some day when my days in this world are over, you will be there to welcome me home, so this is not me saying good-bye to you, Dad, just see you later.

Love, your son
Mark

This is a picture Adam drew.  It is showing Adam pushing Pop-Pop Fischer in the wheelchair.

Never did I feel like I was at work, just hanging out with a good friend.
He would tell me about a lifetime of adventures and his family and he was
very proud of the home he built.  It was never a dull moment with Mr.
Don.  He was always joking. Always thinking of others; a kind word, some
flowers from his garden or a joke to brighten your day, just to
name a few ways. Ms. Frann was his devoted wife and best friend. In my 15
years in the field, I have never come across a wife so devoted! Mr. Don
you are missed. Also loved and adored by all that knew you. Rest Easy
my friend, until we meet again. 
Clarena

Dear Pop-Pop,
I love you so much! I know it was hard at the end, but you always pushed through.  I'm really going to miss your sense of humor.  You left a mark on all of us.  I miss you a lot.  Hope you are having fun dancing with Hobbes in heaven.

I love you,
Hannah

Dear Don,
Let me start by saying thank you from the bottom of my heart.  Thank you for raising three truly wonderful sons, who have all grown into incredible men.  They are all caring, protective, loyal, hard working, generous, and funny-just like you.  I was lucky enough to marry one of your sons, and am grateful every day that they had you as a father and role model.

Thank you also for being a terrific husband.  Through your example, you taught your boys how to treat a lady, and what it means to love unconditionally.

Thank you for being a kind and loving grandfather, great-grandfather, friend, and neighbor to so many.  Your generous spirit continues to influence us all.

Know that you are loved and missed dearly, but that you are remembered with joy and laughter through the stories we all continue to share with each other.  Keep watching over us from heaven, as I know you will.

Much love always,
Your daughter-in-law,
Erin

Dear Pop Pop,

I really miss you. I remember when I was a baby and you would hold me.  I love you soooooo   and one more o much.  You are the best pop pop.  I love hearing all of the stories about you when you were younger.  If you were my age, I know we would be the best of friends.

Your Pal Forever,
I love you, 
Collin

Frann and Family:
Don will surely be missed by everyone.  I will always remember those crabs!!  What delicious ones they were. Everytime I eat crabs, I always think about how big and delicious they were. Then there were our lunches in the last few years.  He always had a smile on his face and a joke to tell.  I know how much he loved you, Frann, and Mark, David, and Michael, and the Grandkids and Great-Grandkids.
Rest in peace Don, you are missed and loved by many.

Love, Gail, Sykesville, Md.

Don was a special neighbor and friend.  We will always remember Don's smile, jokes and ageless face.  He loved Frann and his sons so much.  Rest in peace dear friend.  May your memory be eternal.  Nancy and Peter Kimos

Whenever we met up with Don, he usually had a joke to share.  He had a wonderful smile and I will really miss his laugh. He was cousin to me and a special friend to Jim and I.  He was an usher at our wedding.  Many years ago, my father's car was stolen.  Before we even knew it, Don spotted the car at Murray's (an ice cream store located at Loch Raven Blvd and Taylor Avenue).  He called my father, and sure enough the car was missing.It had been taken by a young man for a joy ride.  Thanks to Don, the car was returned undamaged.  He has left us with many wonderful memories.

When I think of Don, I remember his great personality and wonderful sense of humor. I also think of his love for my Mother and all the good times they shared. Never easy saying goodbye.

Dear Big Brother,
It occurred to me that I am the living relative who has known and loved you the longest.
My memories are many.  How about the time you took me for ice cream while our parents were out and you told me not to tell?  The next day, wanting to be sure you did not get into trouble, I said to Mommy, Donny didn't take me for ice cream, and I think she never told on you.  I remember you taking me to the park and swinging methen you would get on the swing and swing so high you would go over the top while I stood and clapped for you.  Then you would put Debbie and me on the round-a-bout and spin it so fast, while we held on for dear life, loving every minute.  
The best memory was when we went to the Senator Theater for a movie.  Toward the end of the movie, you took me to the side exit and told me to wait there.  You ran down the far aisle, ran up onto the stage, and to the shock of the patrons, danced across the stage while the movie was still playing.  You raced down from the stage, out the exit and we ran up Rosebank Avenue as fast as my little legs would take us.  What fun!!
I remember when you left for Germany while in the Army, returning because our father was ill and he died (that changed my life forever).  I remember when Mark was born (how I adored him and still do) and when you walked me up the aisle when Jack and I were married.   I remember one night at dinner you filled Jack up with so much corn, he wasn't able to eat the eclairs you brought for dessert.
I remember when you married Franny (the best move of your life), when Dave and Mike were born (how I loved them both and still do) and the support you gave me when Mommy and then Jack died (another life changer for me).  I remember our many visits while you were in hospitals and nursing homes; I was retired and was able to visit in daytime hours; we had good talks.  
I could go on and on, my memories are many.  
Rest in peace big brother, I know you are with God.  I have loved you the longest and love you still.

Your little sister, Diane

I have lost. Heaven has gained a wonderful man, I'm just glad God chose you to be my Dad.  I'll always remember the time we spent together whether it was when you came home from a long day at work and still took the time to play catch with Dave and I in the backyard or even if it was on the garage floor handing you tools while you worked on the tractor or helping you in the yard. 
 
You supported me when I succeeded, picked me up when I fell, and every once in a while you gave me a swift kick in the rear end to get me back on track when I needed it.  All of the values and morale's you instilled in me helped me become the man I am today and for that I am grateful.

While I know you are at peace now I still miss you, but I'm not going to say goodbye because you will always be with me!

Your son,
Mike

Don was a part of my life (and family's) as far back as I can remember. From being the flower girl in Don and Frann's wedding, dancing the nights away with Ashtin Golt, celebrating my engagement and lastly being a part of celebrating my mom's last birthday with us.  You brought laughter and smiles to everyone around you.  We love you and will miss you greatly.  

Love, 
Christine, Todd, Zakary and Brayden

My Dearest Don,
Our journey together began many, many years ago when   we were brought together at different stages of our lives.  But we were meant to be!!   Your love for me was so sincere, so genuine and so deep that it was easy to love you back.  I knew you were the love of my life and I was yours forever.  
There are so many wonderful memories that I will carry in my heart always.  Our wedding day, the birth of our sons David and Michael, our grandchildren, our great-grand children  and the many fun times with Mark and our families.   Your tenderness showed as a loving husband, a caring father and a considerate friend.   Your goal in life was to make others happy and enjoy life.  You will be remembered for the delightful person you were.
We were true soul mates, never tiring of talking to each other or being together.  These last years were challenging for both of us, and you were my true hero.  You never complained and were always willing to try and succeed.   You gave me the strength to continue day after day.  We knew how much we loved each other and we were a team.  
During this last year, you would often tell me and others She's not just my wife, she's my life.    Well my love, you are also my life.  I am yours forever and you will be in my heart always.   I will love you for eternity.
May you rest in peace knowing you are missed and loved by many.
Your Loving Wife,
Frann

Don was a great neighbor and friend. He was a wonderful father. Frank believes that Don's sons, Mark, David and Michael are a reflection of the devoted father that he was. They reflect the values that guided Don's life. We will miss his sense of humor and everything else about him. Don and Frann and their family will always be in our thought and prayers.

Donna and Frank Leister

Fran & family:
Doug & I express our deepest sympathy to you & your family. Don was a good man. His giving was endless. May he find peace with the Lord & may the Lord bless you with peace & comfort.
God Bless: Doug & Sharon Ballou

Dad,

Although your physical journey has ended, your spiritual journey has just begun. As you could imagine, my heart aches every day. With time, my heart will heal but my memory of you will never fade.
 
I probably never told you enough but I want you to know that I was blessed and proud to have you as my father. Your work ethic, tenacity, care for others, humor, selfless service, and especially your love for family and friends was beyond reproach.
 
I prayed for your peace every day and that one day you would find eternal rest. I am glad God has taken you home, although, you may have some explaining to do. Just kidding.

I love you Dad now and forever and I know we will see each other again!!

Your loving son,

Dave

Fran & family, so sorry to hear of Don's passing.  He was a good man with a good heart and he will be missed by many.
