David Oscar Fischer
On Friday evening July 13, 2018, David Oscar Fischer (88) transitioned peacefully surrounded by Family due to complications from a stroke.
David graduated from Normandy High School (1947) and attended Westminster and Cumberland School of Law. He was in the army from 1950-1952. He was a former FBI agent and a Circuit Attorney with the City of St. Louis before retiring from private practice after a 35 plus year career.
His passions included Golf, going to Garage Sales, gardening, and shopping at Soulard Market.
He loved to spend time with friends and family. Special days were going to lunch with the “guys”, visiting with friends and neighbors at his home and dinners with his grandkids.
He was born on the 25th of November 1929 in Saint Louis, Missouri and lived in Kirkwood in the same home where he raised his family. He was the middle child (Elizabeth and Mary) born to Oscar and Elise Fischer of St. Louis.
Those left to cherish his memory include three children: David Jr. (Karen), Daniel and Liane (Michael), his sister Elizabeth Krachenberg and seven grandchildren: Brandon, Chelsea, Sami, Melanie, Daniel, Gabrielle, Lauren Ashleigh, nephew Karl (Joan), and three loving nieces; Lisa (Tom), Janna (Marc) and Kay, and his spouse Patricia who has preceded him in death.
No services will be held. A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date. Condolences may be left at www.stlouiscremation.com in lieu of flowers.
My Beloved Father…You are the most kind, considerate, and honest man I’ve ever known. I’m so grateful for all the laughs (making you laugh until you coughed) and fun we had together. I will miss our morning coffee, our dinners, the movies we watched, and times on the back porch….You were a great Father and friend, I wish you were still here. Pop…I will miss you dearly.
Please say hello to Mom and give her a big hug from me. Rest in Peace.
Much Love,
You Son Daniel.

Liane & the entire Fischer family,
So sorry to hear about your “pop”. Thinking of you at this most difficult time.
Dave Fischer was one of the first attorneys that became a friend to me at the St. Louis City Circuit Court. He was a patriarch {along with Raymond Bruntrager and Dan Reardon] to the employees of the Circuit Court. I valued his advice, support and guidance for over 35 years. I was so thrilled to go the Xmas eve lunches at his office. He always told me to park in his lot when I went to Soulard Market. We laughed a lot and he always admired my 100% Irish ancestry. What a great man! He did well and was an example to thousands of young attorneys. Rest in peace my friend. M. Catherine Moran Pre-Trial Release Commissioner {retired}
My Dear David: I remember the first day I met you. You hired me to work for you. Your office was very small. My office had dirt floors. We shared a telephone sitting halfway between your office and mine. I worked for you for many years and what fun we had. You were an amazing person and I will never forget you. To your family, I am so, so, sorry for your loss!!!

Dave was a superman in my corner from the first day we met. That was during the Fischer Dolen ara. I can’t say enough good about this man. He was my counsel till the end when it was then Fischer Byrnes. We never lost thru the years. God be with you Dave. You were the best. I will forever miss you.
