Fischer Family:
Harvey and Lorraine Bessert, Jim, Jean, John, Julie and Joel extend our sympathies to the entire Fischer family. We recently gather in TX for dad's 90th birthday (Feb 27) and the first think he mentioned was that Elroy had passed away. We reminisced about our families getting together: the adults played cards and the kids played outside; fishing at the forks and Elroy helping to build the recreation building in TX for the winter Texas at DooLittle RV Park. We all have fond memories of Elroy.

With sympathy,
