George E. Fischer, 91, of Lititz, formerly of Franklin, NJ, joined his heavenly family on Tuesday, December 1, 2020. Born in Garfield, NJ, he was the only child of the late Michael and Mary (Kmetz) Fischer. George was the husband of the late Eileen (Brady) Fischer who passed in 2015.

George, known to friends and family as Sonny, honorably served his country with the U.S. Army as an MP in the Berlin Airlift during WWII and the Korean Conflict. He worked for the Curtiss Wright Corp. and Bergen Pines Hospital. He relocated to Franklin, NJ, and worked for the Sparta School System in Sussex County. After retiring in 1994 he drove school bus for Sussex County.

George was a family man who loved spending time with his children and grandchildren. He was always fixing things for his friends and family, along with working on his many cars. He enjoyed listening to music of all genres. More recently, he delighted in socializing at the Lititz Senior Center where he was known for his quick wit and humor.
