He was 97 and lived on Simcoe Lane.

Fischer was born in 1875 in Zwei-bruecken, Germany, where he had less than five years of formal education. He was 17 when, while working as an apprentice locksmith, he decided to come to America. His first job in the United States was in the coal fields of Pennsylvania, where he earned $5 a week by cleaning spittoons and washing windows and, on weekends, currying the mules that worked in the m'incs. The mine closed after three weeks, so he headed for Louisville, where his uncle ran a feather-duster factory. He went to work as a brass polisher for Ahrens Otts, a company that preceded the present-day bathtub-making firm, American-Standard Inc.

Years later, he related, "The best kick I ever got in my life was when I was kicked bodily out of the door of (the) brass foundry. That kick started me in the meat-packing business." He then worked at a grocery as an apprentice meatcutter, saving his money for five years until, in 1899, he purchased a wholesale meat route. That same year, he married his wife, Regina, who died in 1968. By day he would distribute meat from a horse-drawn wagon in the Portland section. At night he experimented in a shack behind his modest home at 1869 Mellwood Ave.

In 1909, Fischer came up with a smoke-flavored boneless cooked ham, which became the nucleus of his business. The new kind of ham became an immediate favorite in groceries and delicatessens. A few years later, he developed other types of smoked meats and pork sausages. The home on Mellwood grew into a major packing house that would eventually employ 500 workers. In 1920, he began slaughtering hogs and three years later he began slaughtering beef.
