Louis S. Fischer

Louis S. "Lou" Fischer, 64, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 10, 2025, in Morristown, NJ, surrounded by his loving family. Born on September 30, 1960, in Somerville, NJ, Lou was the son of Louis and Emma Fischer. He grew up in Manville, NJ, where he attended local schools and later graduated from Raritan Valley Community College in Branchburg. A lifelong resident of Manville, Lou moved to Toms River in 2022, though his heart never left the community he called home for so many years. Lou dedicated much of his career to the printing industry, holding positions at Somerset Press in Somerville, Merrill Lynch in Princeton, B&L Printing and LFS Printing in Manville, and concluded his career at East Coast Media in Hillsborough. He was known for his professionalism, integrity, and ability to build lasting relationships with clients and colleagues alike. Deeply involved in his community, Lou was especially passionate about youth sports. He coached Manville Recreation and Travel Softball teams, umpired Middlesex softball games, and was a proud Lifetime Member of the MYAL. His contributions extended beyond the field, as he served on the Manville Town Council, was a Trustee of the VFW Post 2290, and held memberships with the Elks Post 2394 and the American Legion Post 129. Lou had many passions. He was a devoted fan of the New York Yankees and Minnesota Vikings. He loved spending time cooking, crabbing, golfing, bowling, playing pool, expanding his coin collection and listening to Bob Dylan or the Crime Junkie podcast. He loved to enjoy warm, balmy nights poolside with a cold beer and classic rock on the radio. But above all, Lou cherished the time he spent with his family. Lou was a member of Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Manville. He was predeceased by his father, Louis G. Fischer. He is survived by his loving wife of 40 years, Sharon Fischer; his daughters: Alison Fischer and her husband Alfred; Holly Fischer and her husband Colin; and Jamie Fischer and her partner Evan; as well as his beloved mother, Emma Fischer; his siblings: Dave Fischer, Susan Walters, and Jean Bartolome, as well as many cousins, nieces, nephews and extended family. The viewing will be held on Thursday, May 15, 2025 from 4 to 8 PM at the Ketusky Funeral Home, 1310 Brooks Blvd., Manville, NJ. (908) 575-8512. In lieu of flowers donations may be made in his memory to: Elks Lodge #2394, 247 Route 9, Bayville, NJ 08721 or to : V.F.W. Post #2290, 600 Washington Ave, Manville, NJ 08835
