Lee William Fischer, 83, of Lincoln passed away September 27, 2019. He was born August 12, 1936 on the family farm near Alvo, Nebraska to Dick and Muriel Fischer. In August 1956 Lee married his wife of 63 years, Phyllis Ebeler. Together they had three children: Lee Jr., Terryl and Cindy. Lee never had the opportunity to travel far from Alvo as a kid so as a family they traveled the U.S., visiting every state but Hawaii.

At the young age of 50 Lee was able to retire from his successful career as a support specialist at IBM.

Following retirement Lee and Phyllis traveled the world, covering the entire U.S. and more than 30 countries.
