My Sincerest Condolences to The Fischer Family. I had the pleasure of working with Jim at Allstate, he was my Financial Sales Consultant. Whenever we met or talked on the phone for my annual review or a planning session, the 1st 10-15 minutes was always spent talking about our families. Jim genuinely cared about how my daughter was doing in school or running track. He Loved talking about his family, and when Madison was born she took up most of the conversation.
Jim Fischer will definitely be missed but will never be forgotten. May God Continue to Bless & Keep You
Peace

We will really miss Jim, but all the fond memories and good things he represented will stay with us forever. Jim was a great family man, a wonderful teacher and mentor, and a totally genuine friend. He is in a good place and probably paying some really competitive golf on a world class course. We will all miss you FISH!

One of the highlights of my summer was to play in the Pembrook Ryder Cup golf outing. Fish was one of the reasons why I looked forward to the gathering. His infectious humor and laughter made my weekend. He will be missed! God bless!

Jim and I worked at Prudential together for many years and then at Allstate. I'll always remember Jim as a good friend, he's the type friend that would always be there for you. He had such an optimistic and positive attitude, I don't think I ever saw him in a bad mood.
He was so proud of his family, always praising his children, he was so proud of them. The last time I talked to him he made sure to tell me that he loved me. He truly appreciated friendships and life. What a great guy.
He will be greatly missed.

When I opened this notice, Jim’s picture/face brought an immediate smile to my face, followed by tears as I realized his passing. I knew “Fish” for many years in our association at Prudential. He always called me “Millsky”! Like so many others, I have a cadre of memories that are full of laughs and happiness related to my friendship with Jim. Those I get to keep, but I would have preferred keeping “Fish” longer. Both my wife, Paula, and I extend our sympathies to Kate and the entire family. God’s blessings on you all.
Sincerely,
Mike/Paula Miller

so hard to believe our friend has passed...every moment with Fish was a memory or one waiting to happen...from cross country golf at Christmas mountain, to drinking tequila in Cancun I have so many fond memories etched in my brain. To Katie, Jamie, Amanda and Adam I was blessed to know "Fish" your husband and father and I hope you can find strength from the good times and memories you have. Fish will be greatly missed!

Jim Fischer, such an awesome man. I had the pleasure of working with Jim while he was at Prudential in Rosemont. He played as hard as he worked. He always made it fun & everyone wanted to hang with Jim. I am so so sorry for your loss. He was way to young. May he Rest In Peace & may your family find peace in all the wonderful memories you have with him.

My heart aches to have heard this sudden news...
It was a warm fall day in 1982 and I was shooting baskets alone at an off campus park having just moved to DeKalb, Illinois to attend Northern Illinois University. This guy (who I soon learned went by "Fish") rolled up out of nowhere and made his indelible impression that anyone who had the good fortune of knowing him, knows so well.
Our mutual interests of sports and athletics led to that rare camaraderie and from that moment on, a blessed and lasting friendship despite living on opposite sides of the country.
After many years, just weeks ago we had reconnected and proudly shared grandchildren pictures along with making plans for me to visit Chicago this summer to golf and reminisce. Unfortunately, at no time did he reveal that he was having any health complications. And so it goes for a man with great pride and dignity.
You'll be missed Fish. You are gone way too soon my friend, but will forever be in my thoughts. I just hope God has a place for you, where you can run again. Where you can make jokes with your teammates and then flash that mischievous smile again.
And, of course, my most heartfelt sympathies go out to Kate and family. I am with you in spirit and may God bless you always.
So long Fish. Thanks.

While I can’t help but to smile at Jim’s photo and the memories it brings me, at the same time if fills me with sorrow over the passing of my friend who left us way too soon. I am grateful for his friendship, the laughter we shared, how he looked out for me and always had my best interest at heart, how he scared me when he drove “Chicago” style, and the nickname he gave me (Babs), which only “Fish” could get away with. Prayers to Kate and family, may you always feel his love and find comfort in the memories.

First let me and my family send our prayers to Jimmy's family, I had the opportunity to know Jim since we both were very young, I cannot describe the fun we had growing up together... Sports nut doesn't begin to describe the passion Jimmy had for sports, He was a ferocious competitor at everything he did, He made everything we did fun... I didn't have to see him everyday to know he was my friend but when we did see each other it was just like did... Rest in peace my friend I for sure will miss you...

I am deeply saddened to hear of Jim's passing. I had the pleasure of working with Jim at Allstate and he never disappointed when he would come into the office and inevitably have me laughing at any number of stories he would tell. Though we had a difference in opinions on Chicago baseball teams, you couldn't help but laugh when he would razz the Cubs. My deepest condolences go out to Jim's family, he will be missed.

I had the opportunity and privilege to work alongside Jim (A.K.A. Fish) at both Prudential and in his role at Allstate. I always admired Jim for his directness, honesty and sense of humor. He was one of those bigger than life characters that make you smile when you were in their presence. If you were a friend, Jim ALWAYS had your back and was a phone call away. I have too many wonderful memories to list here but I will be praying for Jim and his loving family. Rest in HIS peace!
