James, of Waterford, Michigan (formerly of Mason) passed away peacefully in Hospice Care at Henry Ford Hospital with his loving wife, Donna, at his bedside March 6, 2020.
Jim’s hobbies were fishing (telling fish stories) hunting (the big buck got away), and gardening. Jim’s gardens were breathtaking, not a weed in sight. Jim graduated from Sexton High School in 1961, attended Ferris State College and received a BS degree in business management. He was employed at GM for 30+ years and retired as a manager in 2006. Living life to the fullest, Jim endured a long illness that eventually slowed him down, but he was always a fighter and never gave up.
Jim was preceded in death by his parents, Walter and Lorene Fischer, brother, William Fischer; step daughter Darla Thayer; granddaughters Heather McNally and Tracy Patton.
He is survived by his wife Donna; daughters Amy (Chuck) Gollay; Deborah ( Gregg ) Bishop; son James “Scott” (Leanne) Fischer; Stepdaughters Keena (James) Vancalbergh; Carla (Thomas) Patton; Vicki (Kenneth) Nims; and Tina Lazarus.

Also special friends Lowell “Dad”and Tillie Martin, and his special buddy, Bandit.
