Thaddeus J. Fisher

Thaddeus, known affectionately as "Ted" to his friends and family and "Poppo" to his 7 grandchildren, was born on November 15, 1943 in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, NY and passed away on April 27, 2025. Ted was a devoted husband, loving father, proud Poppo and "Uncle Teddy" and dedicated friend to those he considered as family. He touched the hearts of all who knew him with his selflessness and unwavering commitment to those he held near and dear. Ted retired from the NYPD after 20 years of service in 1985 and from the New York State Attorney General's office in 2014 after 27 years of service. He was passionate about traveling with his friends and family. You could often find Ted proudly adorned in his children's and grandchildren's school and sports team's attire. He was a staple on the Holy Child, St. Joseph Hill and Farrell sideline and never missed a milestone, game or school performance. Whether it was a vivid memory from his youth or simply recounting his day's events, Ted never missed a detail in a story he told and always held his audience captive. Ted was preceded in death by his sisters, Ellen Houston and Theresa Bilak. He is survived by his beloved wife Elaine, his daughter Tracy and son-in-law Gary, his daughter Erin and son-in-law Rick, his son, Michael and his daughter-in-law Lauren, his grandchildren, Brendan, McKenzie, Luke, Kelsey, Danny, Liam and Nora, and his brother-in-law Frank Houston (husband of Ellen) and brother-in-law Joseph Bilak (husband of Theresa). He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
