Barb, Mark and family, our deepest sympathy go out to you. Henry was brother,father and friend to me. He sacrificed so much to keep the family together when Dad died and left Mom with 4 young boys to raise. He got a hardship discharge from the Air Force to work in the mines to pay our bills,and after he got the family somewhat stable he was drafted into the Army during the Korean War. and he continued to support the family with his allotment. Henry loved golfing at Myrtle Beach and he made it so much fun for everyone. I am so glad I got to spend that time with him and his buddies. So, Goodby Henry, someday we will meet again, God bless,Bob and Betty

Mark, Aunt Barb. My condolences to you. Uncle Henry was one of a kind and have always enjoyed his banter with my brothers and I. I remember the golfing expeditions to SC... never a dull moment, always quick to help me with my golfing game, regardless if I wanted it or not, but that is your Dad, which I loved and will miss. God bless you with our prayers.

Mrs. Fischer, Mark, Tammy, and family, my thoughts are with you at this time. I will always have fond memories and admiration for Mr. Fischer. As a young child with minimal athletic skills, I was fortunate to have Mr. Fischer as a baseball coach. He was so kind, patient, and supportive. It meant the world to me.
