Obituary

John Joseph Fischer, 70, passed away unexpectedly at his home on October 30th in Malden, MA. Jay was a devoted and loving family man and is survived by his wife of over 49 years, Catherine, his son, Jason and daughter, Rebecca, (both of Malden, MA) as well as a large extended family: Ginny &amp; Michael O'Neill of Marlborough, Cissy &amp; John D'Ovidio of Somerville, Terry Collins of Waltham and Beth &amp; Mark Mahoney of Oakham, along with many nieces and nephews. He was especially close to Owen, Riley, Kelan &amp; Aidan - Uncle Jay and an honorary Grandfather. He also had two best friends, John Boudreau of Danvers and Dennis Lancaster of Malden. Son of the late Elmer &amp; Shirley (Parsons) Fischer, he was born and raised in Brighton, MA with his siblings - brother Steven (deceased) and sisters Carol Normant of Burlington and Jeanne McMahon of Marlborough. A resident of Malden for over 30 years, he enjoyed playing poker, betting the races, watching sports and enjoying life alongside his beloved family. When he was around, you could always feel his kind presence - a happy, fun-loving person who wanted to make you smile. He made sure he played his lottery every week and scratched the tickets. A hard worker and an amazing provider for his family, Jay worked since he was 14-years-old until his retirement earlier this year. He is deeply loved and missed. We know he is dancing in heaven and smiling down on all of us. In lieu of flowers please consider making a donation to the Multiple Sclerosis Association in Jay's honor.
