 Includes NotesNotes for Norbert Fischer:
Never married... Unfortunately he suffered from alcoholism most of his adult life. In 1952, when E. John Fischer retired from the family business, Norbert took over, but due to his alcoholism and care-free dispositon he failed in business. Known as "Nobby" at St. Patrick's High School in Eau Claire, Norbert played football for four years and was a much heralded local sports hero. At that time Marty Crowe, a highly respected high school football and basketball coach, said of Nobby, "He was one of my altime favorites. A simple kind of guy but fearless and terribly strong. Just a tremendous defensive tackler. I never had one better in all my years of coaching." Norbert was over 6'2" tall and weighed 200 lbs. He was buried from Sacred Hearth Church in Eau Claire. At the funeral mass a family eulogy was delivered by Rev. Sandee Kosmo Christoffersen, daughter of Palmer and Virginia Kosmo and grand daugher of Ernest and Bessie Fischer.
