Emil T. Fischer, 66, of South Williamsport passed away on Feb. 20, 2023 at The Gatehouse.

He was born on Dec. 30, 1956 in Williamsport, a son to the late Emil J. and Ruth E. (Wenner) Fischer.

Emil was a member of St. Boniface Catholic Church, and worked for Webb Communications, the former Grit Publishing as a pressman. He later retired from Kellogg's after 25 years of service.

Emil could often be found working in his yard, where you would struggle to find even a single blade of grass out of place. He also very much enjoyed reading and woodworking.

He and his wife, the former Nancy A. Botto, were married at The Inn at New Berlin on Nov. 29, 2002.

In addition to his wife, Nancy Fischer, he is survived by daughter Kristen (Jesse) Manikowski of South Williamsport and son Ty (Niki) Fischer of Avis; 11 grandchildren, Kalee, Alyssa, Kara, Aiden, Ella, Nolan, Peyton, Brooks, Lucas, Ophelia, and Aria; great-grandson Ivan; two step-children Tamara (Kipton) Hoffman of Watsontown, and Christopher (Bianca Ortiz) Hoagland of Macungie; as well as sister Barbara (Michael) Engel and brothers Gary Fischer, David Fischer, and Michael (Michele) Fischer.
