John Fischer

July 5, 1934 - December 20, 2020

John Fischer, of Old Bridge, New Jersey passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 20, 2020. John was born on July 5, 1934 in Jersey City, NJ. He graduated from Snyder High School and served in the US Army from 1954 to 1958. He spent the majority of his adult life with the NJ Turnpike Authority, working many holidays and double shifts to support his large family. He never complained. John's greatest love and passion was his wife of nearly 50 years, Margaret Ann (nee Farrell), who predeceased him in 2009. John is survived by his five children, Margaret Lambert and her husband Jim, Michael Fischer and his wife Juli, Kim Fischer Madarasz and her former husband Arpad, Nancy Sabik and her husband Scott, and Denise Krenis. He is also survived by 7 grandchildren, Josh, Megan, Emily, Laszlo, Lorant, Hope, and Colin. As well as two great grandsons, Dexler and Jensen. He also leaves behind a dear friend and cousin Nancy Benjamin and two beloved nieces, Marlene Weeks and Darlene Albino and their families. John was a friend to all who met him, always quick with an inappropriate joke and a pocket full of butterscotch candies to share. He loved show tunes, had an encyclopedia mind for old Hollywood and a beautiful, clear whistle. He loved to make people smile and he will be missed by many. The family will receive friends from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Wednesday, December 23, 2020, at Michael Hegarty & John Vincent Scalia Home For Funerals and Cremation Service, 3377 US Highway 9, Old Bridge, New Jersey.
