Eric Fischer

Eric Charles Fischer, 62, of Philadelphia and Lansdale, PA, passed away on December 26, 2023, in Florida after a brief illness. He was born on November 7, 1961, in Abington PA. Eric was a beloved father, grandfather, brother, cousin, and friend, known for his kind heart, love of sports and his willingness to help anyone.

As a child, Eric was active and adventurous. He loved animals, especially dogs. He enjoyed building ramps to ride his bike over, like Evel Knievel, and practicing his roller skating, especially on the hardwood floors at home. Not surprisingly, his passion for sports extended to a love of ice hockey in which Eric was an avid participant on the ice or on the street. An excellent ice skater, he played on Northeast High School hockey teams. Eric loved all Philadelphia sports teams, but particularly the Flyers. Eric was also a noted carpenter whose skills were amazing and in demand.

Eric is survived by his daughter Kelly Chinni and her husband Anthony of Pennsburg PA, and sons Colin Fischer of Reno NV, and Sean Fischer of Souderton PA. He loved his children immensely but never had the chance to meet his two granddaughters. He is also survived by siblings Kathy, Bill, and Michael as well as nieces and nephews. Eric’s memory will forever be cherished by his family and friends.

A Memorial service to celebrate Eric’s life will be held at the Immanuel Church of the Nazarene, 1260 Welsh Road, Lansdale PA on Monday March 25th, 2024. Visitation will begin at 9:30am followed by a service at 10:00am. This will be followed by a private family-only interment. No donations or flowers are requested.
