Douglas M. Fischer

Douglas Montgomery Fischer died unexpectedly on June 28, 2025 at Stamford Hospital, due to a brain aneurysm. He had been enjoying one of his favorite pastimes, walking his dog in the woods, when it happened. He was 82 years old.

Doug was a lifelong Greenwich resident who dedicated his career to serving his community. He spent 32 years working for the Greenwich Police Department before retiring as Lieutenant. He continued community service in retirement as a 20-year volunteer for Call-a-Ride of Greenwich, which transports ambulatory seniors to appointments around town.

Whether hunting, fishing, practicing archery or watching baseball, Doug was happiest outdoors. He was a longtime member of Cos Cob Archers. He was a skilled woodworker, an avid Mets fan, and loved dogs.

He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Judy Fischer (Dahlberg) and their sons, Scott (Michele), Craig (Lana), and Stephen (Kristy) Fischer. He is also survived by his brothers, Richard and Allan (Meck) Fischer and grandchildren, Hannah, Jaena, Ben (step), Jack, Owen, and Brynn.

A celebration of Doug’s life will be held on Thursday, July 3, 2025 at the Leo P. Gallagher & Son Funeral Home in Greenwich. The family will receive friends from 4-8 p.m.

The family is grateful for the outflow of support from friends, relatives and neighbors. They would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to GEMS and the Greenwich Police and Fire departments for their swift response.
