Terry Lee Fischer, 77, of Prudenville passed away on Saturday August 24, 2024 at Horizon Senior Living Center of West Branch.
Terry was born on December 27, 1946 in Gladwin, Michigan to Roy and Luella (Cripps) Fischer. He grew up in the Prudenville area and graduated from Houghton Lake Community Schools. Terry served as a SP4 (T) in the Army during the Vietnam War from 1966-1968. On October 26, 1996 in Rose City Terry was married to Lee Ann Oliver. He owned and operated F & F Well Drilling in Prudenville for over 32 years and would probably still be working if his health would have allowed.

So many fond memories growing up with Terry and Ted as my next door neighbors and pals. Too many great times to single one out. I was fortunate to work for Terry in his saw mill before Uncle Sam called me away. Terry was a hard working, smart and resourceful man who helped keep us younger boys in line. His sense of humor made our arduous chores seem easy. Even though we´ve been far apart for many years, I feel a true loss at his passing. Rest in peace Terry.
