Obituary for John W Fischer

John W Fischer
John Wilbert Fischer, 91, died Thursday, May 7, 2015 in Marshalltown, Iowa from medical complications. Funeral services will be 1 pm Monday, May 11 at the Egelhof, Siegert & Casper Westview Funeral Home and Crematroy, 2659 Kennedy Road where visitation will be held Monday from noon until time of service.

Born and raised in Fort Dodge, Iowa, John spent the majority of his life in Dubuque. After serving as a radio electronic technician in the Army Air Force during World War II, on the fronts of Africa and Italy, he returned home to pursue his education.
He taught Industrial Arts for 34 years and his love of youth kept him substitute teaching for an additional 21 years. His proudest achievement was developing and overseeing the Student Building Program. This endeavor enabled students to learn how to build a house from the ground up.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Eloise, his beloved bride of 66 years.
He will be lovingly remembered by his children, Jackie (Darrel) Baker of Rapid City, South Dakota and Elizabeth (Michael) Jurgensen of Marshalltown, Iowa; and grandchildren, Nathan Baker and family of Kennewick, Washington and Matthew (Alexandra) Baker of Valencia, Spain. He is also survived by his beloved sister, Ruth.
Memorials may be given to the Student Building Program for the Dubuque Community Schools. The donations should be made out to Dubuque Community Schools (CTE Program) C/O David Olsen, 2300 Chaney Road, Dubuque, Iowa, 52001.
