Donald Sidney Fischer
CUMBERLAND FORESIDE – Donald Sidney Fischer, 90, of Cumberland Foreside, died peacefully at home on June 17, 2021. He and his wife, Lea, have been married for 67 years and have had six children.
Don was born to Sidney and Helen (Redling) Fischer on June 14, 1931 and grew up in Brooklyn and Point Lookout, NY.
He earned a BS in Chemical Engineering from MIT, served as an NSA Intelligence Officer in the U.S. Army in Okinawa at the end of the Korean War, and then earned an MBA from Harvard Business School. Don and Lea grew up their family in Long Island, NY
Don has spent most of his career in the inter-connectivity electronics industry, starting at Photocircuits Corporation in Glen Cove, NY as a project manager. When Photocircuits became part of the Kollmorgen Corporation, he served as corporate vice president, who later became president of the multiwire division. Don was recruited by Union Carbide to manage and develop Praxair, a newly acquired Texas company that produces gases used in the semiconductor industry. He served as president for two years before retiring to Maine with Lea in 1992.
Don recognized his golfing skills, playing often and participating in tournaments at Falmouth Country Club, even up until last year. He enjoyed sailing with family and friends for many years, and became an active member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Yarmouth.
But her greatest joy came from being married to Leah and spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great -grandchildren. He is the patriarch of the family and the one to go to for counsel. He is also a great storyteller, regaling tales of his interesting life with his fascinating humor.
Don is survived by his wife Lea (Dorgan) Fischer; his children Paul (Susan) Fischer, Mark (Teresa) Fischer, Timothy (Nancy) Fischer, Carol Deerwester (Laurence Schwartz), and Joyce (Michael) Pardee, and preceded by his son Alan Fischer. He is also survived by his sister Jacqueline (Fischer) Newman; 13 apo; five great -grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews; and a large family.
A funeral will be held for Don and his son Alan, at Holy Martyrs Catholic Church on July 10 at 11 am
