Samuel P. Fleischer

WARSAW- Samuel Patrick Fleischer, 71, passed away Friday, April 11, 2025 at his home with his wife by his side.

He was born Jan. 30, 1954 in Cleveland to Samuel and Sally (McHugh) Fleischer. He started his working career as a machinist, and was an over-the-road truck driver for many years. He was a member of St. Mary's Romanian Orthodox Cathedral in Cleveland, where he was a former council member as well.

Sam was a fun-loving guy. He was always happy, and didn't know a stranger. He enjoyed spending time with friends, visiting his neighbors, and listening to country music by the river with a fishing rod in his hand. Hunting and being outdoors were things he loved as well.

He is survived by his wife of nearly 32 years, Gabriela (Paunescu) Fleischer of Warsaw, whom he married Aug. 28, 1993; his mother, Sally Fleischer; brothers, Steve (Ann) Fleischer, Scott (Louise) Fleischer, Stan Fleischer, and Shawn Fleischer; a sister, Sandy Schneider; and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his father, as well as a son, Samuel Fleischer; and an infant sister, Mary.
