Memorial Name = S.C. "Sonny" Fischer
Comments = Dear Fischer Family,
I have many fond memories from my childhood of Sonny.  Not just as Bryan's father, but as a caring
and sincere man.  Bryan was my best friend throughout my high school years and Sonny was always
very tolerant of both of us, even when he probably shouldn't have been. He was a great man, a
tremendous father and a sincere roll model many young men.  My prayers are with the family.
    Sincerely,
            Scott Wayman

Comments = So sorry to hear about Sonny and was hoping to make it to to see everyone but unless it
rains I won't be able to be there.  Since we are farmers and right in the middle of harvest I am sure
Sonny would understand.  Would love to see everyone.  It has been years since I have seen any of you.  
I remember Sonny as being such a big man with a big heart.  Never failed to tell me I played a good
game after one of our games  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Comments = Wow!!  I remember Sonny from way back in Elementary School(some 40+ years ago),
when he drove the bus.  He didn't drive my "route" up by the Salt Plains lake, but whenever possible
I'd get a chance to ride his bus,  he always had a huge smile and a kind word for me as I got onto his
bus to go home with a friend!!  (Sometimes I think I would beg to go home with a particular friend, just
so I could have "Cool Dude" Sonny be my bus driver!!)  He "stood out" even THEN, as a "bigger than
life", kind hearted man that loved people!!!  He will be sorely missed by all!
    With Fond Memories,
    Judy Miller
