Morris Neal Fischer July 26, 1939 – December 25, 2018 Send Flowers Sign Guestbook| Send Private Condolences| Send Sympathy Card Husband, Father and friend is at peace after an extended battle with cancer and related illnesses. Morris Fischer was born in Silverton, Oregon to Eugenia Fischer (Neal) and Marion Fischer. He was educated in farm schools including McAlpin and Victor Point.
Because of his farm home location, he went to first Cascade High School and then graduated in 1957 from Silverton Union High School. Schooling continued in Klamath Falls where Morris received an automotive education at OIT. After graduation he returned to the valley and went to work for Gene Teague Chevrolet in Stayton.
This is when he met the love of his life, Patricia Klaboe, and they were soon married. He also held a position with Car Lab in Portland, where he met his future business partner Nyles Klampe. Together they started the Muffler Center in the rented pit garage on Evergreen Avenue.
Business was eventually good enough to move into bigger shop with multiple bays. The two would go on to build their own building on the corner of Highway Avenue and Silverton Road. There were many summers hanging with Nyles at the drag strip, making barstool racers, building custom exhausts for fellow motorheads and sponsoring sand drags in Sand Lake.
He always was there to help family and friends in their automotive crisis. Pat and the kids always had a boat for fishing and water sports, spent many miles with 5 people in a camper on summer vacations in British Columbia, camping out at their place at Three Rivers and always had dirt bikes for weekend rides. His friends will remember the annual Christmas party, all night pinochle games and the trips to Reno.
Morris tried his hand at retirement, but raising sheep was not his passion. He would go back to twisting wrenches at Ioka grass seed Farm. He had a keen ability to use logic to design and fix machinery.
He really appreciated the freedom to set his own schedule to be with family, fish and hunt. Some of the best memories were in elk camp with a base that could endure any storm. He covered a lot of miles in the steep hillsides of the Ukiah Unit.
He told many a tale of his trips to Yakutat Alaska fishing for halibut and salmon. Morris leaves behind his Wife Patricia Fischer who would have been married 59 years on December 31st. Morris has three children, Sons Ed (Leila) and Mike (Mardi) and daughter Susan.
He also had 7 Grand Children, Charlie, Anna, Faith and Ian Scharer, Zachary, Dakota, and Nicholas Fischer. A celebration of life with occur at 1pm on the 31st of December at the Union Hills Grange Hall. 15775 Grange Rd SE, Sublimity OR 97385.
