Henry Robert Fischer ’39
A lifelong resident of Erie, Pa., Henry died there on May 17, 2000. After graduating from Penn law school in 1942, he practiced law in Erie and was honored there by the Erie County Bar Assn. for 50 years of service. He was pres. of Fischer-Spiegel Corp. in Geneva, Ohio, until it was sold to Coca-Cola Foods of Atlanta. Henry gave himself generously to all kinds of civic endeavors over the years. On the board of directors for Erie Day School, Brevillier Village, and the Keystone Grape Coop, he was also a solicitor for the Erie Homebuilders Assn. and was honored by the Erie Police Pension Fund for 50 years of service. He served as chancellor for the Episcopal Cathedral of St. Paul.
We offer our sympathy to Gloria, whom he married in 1983, and to his two daughters, three sons, and 12 grandchildren.
