The Gauverband Nordamerika is mourning the loss of our Gauehrenbibliothekar Jerry Fischer, who passed away on July 8, 2025.
Representing SVEV D'Oberlandler Milwaukee, Jerry was appointed to the newly-created position of Gaubibliothkar at the Delegates Meeting in Buffalo, NY in 1976. After a short hiatus, he was then elected to that same position in 1980 and remained in that capacity until he retired in 2000. In total, he spent 22 years in office.
