ROBERT 
“BOBBY/
FRENCHY” 
FISHER, 86, 
passed away 
March 10, 2023, 
in Los Angeles. 
He was a Detroit native and 
migrated to L.A. in 1965 after 
spending time in Germany as 
a captain in the Air Force. 
A University of Michigan 
graduate, Bobby was a doctor 
of internal medicine with a 
specialty in rheumatology. He 

loved skiing, afternoons on 
the golf course and was always 
watching sports. His greatest 
joy was his grandchildren. 
Bobby had a quick wit and 
loved telling jokes. His timing 
was perfect and kept his 
friends and family laughing 
at every story he told. He was 
the last one on the dance floor 
at every party he attended. 
Bobby will be missed 
dearly, and his legacy will live 
on through endless stories 
and memories relived by his 
family and friends.
Mr. Fisher is survived 
by his beloved wife of 53 
years, Reggie; his sister, 
Carolyn (“Cookie”) and her 
husband, Richard Cogan; his 
kids, Cheryl Schneider (the 
late Ian Schneide), Cathy 

Gurvis, Kevin Fisher and 
wife, Jennifer Fisher, Brian 
Fisher and wife, Gaby Fisher; 
his 10 grandchildren; his 
loving sister-in-law, Doreen 
Hermelin; many nieces, 
nephews, great-nieces and 
great-nephews who adored 
him. 
A celebration of life was 
held at Hillside Memorial 
in Los Angeles. In lieu of
