Skeeter was a wonderful friend who always made me smile.  I will miss his humor, his kindness and generosity, his funny emails and most of all, his genuine friendship.

RIP my friend!

Truely a sad day:( Skeeter was true VW fanatic, loved all thing's VW was always great to chat with him, as he went to all VW event's.  He was also very kind and always helped any VW person in need and gave to those (non vw peeps) in need.  RIP Skeeter!!!

We would like to send or condolences to the Fischer family. We would also like to see if we can raise some money to assist them with the funeral cost. Racer Relief t shirts can be purchased and all proceeds will be donated to help the family.
Also there will be a memorial  at Imperial Burgers is located at 6201 Lincoln Ave. (just east of Valley View) in Buena Park. Come by anytime after 7PM; people often hang out long after the restaurant closes at 10PM!

THE VW SCENE HAS LOST THERE MASCOT

CHRIS FISHER (AKA SKEETER)

No matter were you went, Skeeter was there. He was the first on the scene and the last to leave.

He would always greet you with a hand shake and a smile.

The Man drove His Car everywhere. It was his pride and joy. He loved his VW with the detachable roof.

People used to tease him about it, but that is what made it unique, just like him.

Skeeter never asked if you needed help, he would just start helping.

Skeeter was a good, kind, helpful and giving person.

We are going to miss you Skeeter  - God Speed – Say Hi to Mark

Life is better with a detachable Roof

I didn't know him that well, living here in Vegas, but he was always a great guy to talk with at the events I attended.  That guy was a diehard VW guy through and through. Rest in peace my friend.
