Richard Fischer

On July 11, 2024, a brave and wonderful man went home to be with his Lord and

Savior Jesus Christ.

Richard Fischer was born on March 28,1947, to Harvey and Mary Fischer in Port  Washington, Wis. Richard was raised and attended schools there.

At the age of 19, he joined the Army and served in Germany and Vietnam.

Upon returning home, he joined the International Brotherhood of Electrical  Workers (IBEW) and, after the apprenticeship program, he became a  journeyman lineman. He loved this work. He traveled and worked all over  the United States and overseas. Richard served in this profession for  over 40 years.

After retirement, he worked on a wheat farm and  helped with combining and getting the crops ready for market. Richard  loved to hunt and fish and spent many hours teaching his grandchildren  the skills he had learned over the years, and they too became skilled  hunters. He also taught them to love the Lord.

Richard met his wife Patti in California while working there. They spent 37 years together.

Richard was a man of strong work ethics, high moral values and strong belief in his Lord. He will be missed so much.

His father Harvey, his mother Mary, brother Arthur and sister Doris preceded Richard in death.

Survivors include his wife, Patti; children DeWayne and Andrea; grandchildren  Riley Edwards and Taylor (Jarod) Vance of Montana, brother Allen  (Annette) of Oregon, nieces Beth (Joe) Clark and Kris (Shawn) Harmon of  Wisconsin; and dearest friends Dave and Lois Sturtz of Washington and  John and Nancy Liebherr of Wisconsin.

A celebration of life will be held for Richard at Calvary Chapel at 309 Third St. in Hardin, MT on October 6th at 1:00 pm. Everyone who knew Richard are invited. Burial has taken place in Port Washington.
