Ferdinand Louis Dischler was a native of Crowley, Louisiana and resident of Lafayette for over 76 years. Fred, as he was known by family and friends, was a graduate of Menard Academy High School and Texas A & M College of Engineering, and worked as a Geologist in the Oil & Gas Industry until 1982. He was on the Board of Directors at The Petroleum Club in Lafayette and was a member of the St. Pius X Catholic Church Community in Lafayette. At the time of his death, Mr. Dischler was a consultant for the maritime industry.
One of Fred's many passions was clay shooting and bird hunting at the camp with his family & friends. Fred was always there to lend a helping hand. The excitement in his voice when someone called for his help on a project was undeniable. His intelligence and attention to detail could solve any project given to him, and he was always happy to coach and educate. Most importantly, nothing lit up Fred's eyes like being with his family, especially his grandchildren. Fred's heart was his family, and his whistle will always be remembered in our hearts.
Pallbearers will be Ronald Dischler, Sr., Gregory Dischler, Timothy Dischler, Ronald "Charlie" Dischler, Jr., Chad Celestin and Nicholas Misita. Honorary pallbearers will be Michael Lippman, Adam Broussard and David Lippman.

The family would like to give special thanks to the nurses and staff of NSI Hospice and A Care Partner for their kindness, compassion, and gentle care given to Mr. Dischler during his time of need.
