Frank Joseph Fischer

FISCHER, Frank J. March 16, 2026. Age 95. Frank J. Fischer, a lifelong resident of Macomb County, passed away March 16, 2026 at the age of 95. He was the beloved husband of the late Gloria, with whom he shared 45 wonderful years of marriage. Loving father of David (Tracy) Fischer, Steven Fischer, and Karen Fischer. Proud grandfather of Alex and Austen. Dear brother of the late Matthew (Julie) Fischer. Dearest uncle of the late Ken (Kim) Fischer and great-uncle of Derek. Frank attended St. Joseph High School in Detroit and worked at Eastern Market as a teenager. Even at a young age he showed an entrepreneurial spirit, selling fruit cups at Michigan Central Train Station. He was a proud veteran of the Korean War and had the opportunity to return to Korea in 2019 as a guest of the Korean government, where he was able to see the results and benefits to the Korean people from the sacrifices made. Frank’s interests were varied. He attended business school and the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts (later the College for Creative Studies) and trained as a toolmaker. His true passion, however, was art and design, leading to nearly a 40-year career with General Motors as a sculptor, eventually becoming Chief Modeler for Pontiac, Buick and Cadillac. During his career he worked with industry icons including Harley Earl, Bill Mitchell and Chuck Jordan. Family life was very important to Frank. He especially cherished time spent with his three children and enjoyed camping, being with family, and attending hockey games to watch his grandsons play. He took great pride in his grandchildren and enjoyed encouraging and supporting their interests and pursuits. In retirement, Frank remained active managing his real estate portfolio and following the stock market.

Chung of the Korean Chemical Corporation The Chairman hosted a dinner in Seoul Korea to honor his service during the Korean War. Dear David, On behalf of KCC and Momentive Group, I wish to express our profound sorrow and deepest condolences on the passing of your beloved father. Your father was a true hero who stood with us during the Korean war. We still vividly remember his visit to Seoul six years ago, when he was officially invited by the Korean government to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the war's outbreak. During that visit, he shared his deep admiration for the Republic of Korea's miraculous transformation - a nation he once saw in ruins, now turned into a thriving global leader. It was a great honor for us to host him at a special dinner with me and my executives, where he witnessed firsthand the fruits of the peace he helped protect. His legacy and the history he helped write will be forever etched in our hearts. As you and your loved ones bid him farewell, please do know that we join you in honoring his noble life. May he rest in peace and pride! Cordially, Mong Jin Chung Chairman KCC and Momentive Group
