Robert A. Fisher
As a Newport City Commissioner in the 1950s, Robert A. Fischer served with some of the more colorful figures in area politics.
Mr. Fischer, 74, of Newport, died Friday in St. Luke Hospital East, Ft. Thomas.
Mr. Fischer was in his early 30s when he was elected to the commission. He served two terms, from 1956 to 1960, and then ran unsuccessfully for mayor, said his wife, Mary Fischer.
"Bob Sidell was the mayor when he was on the commission. He lost the mayor election in 1960 to Ralph Mussman," Mrs. Fischer said.
With politics behind him, Mr. Fischer concentrated on a business career, and was president of Fischer Enterprises, Newport, a fund-raising endeavor. He retired several years ago.
"He raised funds for organizations throughout the tri-state, including the Cincinnati school system, and for 4-H groups all over Kentucky," Mrs. Fischer said.
Her husband was a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters, the Holy Name Society and the Elks, Mrs. Fischer said.
Survivors, in addition to his wife, include a daughter, Lisa M. Fischer of Newport; a son, Robert J. Fischer of Richmond, Va.; a brother, Albert J. Fischer of Ft. Thomas; and two grandchildren. A daughter, Therese M. Fischer, died in 1994.
