WW2 Veteran Charles St. Alban Fisher of Owen Sound passed away peacefully at home with his loving family by his side on December 18, 2021. Born in London, England, on November 5, 1914, Charles was in his 108th year.
Beloved husband of the late Dorothy Fisher (née Leppard). Loving Father of Faye Fisher and David Grahlman, Sandra and Barry Kearney, and Donna Fisher-Potter and Tom Potter. Cherished Grandpa of Chris Webber, Adam Webber, Kristina and Mark Richards, Colleen and Jerry Janssens, Ryan Eastick and Jaclyn, Kyle Eastick and Emily, Graham Potter and Kelly, and Garrett Potter and Vanessa. Great Grandpa of Emma Richards (Craig), Winston Floyd-Webber, and Hunter Eastick. He will be missed by extended family and many friends.
Charles led a long and vibrant life and had many friends of all ages who were entertained by his stories and life lessons. He loved his home and his garden, especially his crop of garlic. A life-long learner, newspaper reader, solitaire player, drawer of trees and animal lover. He surprised everyone with his proficiency on the IPad that entertained him and connected him with the world. He took great pleasure riding his scooter each day around his property, feed his birds and tour his neighbourhood. He appreciated the visits and kindness expressed to him during numerous birthday celebrations. Dad was thankful to all who contributed to his health and care. He was an inspiration to so many through whom his legacy will live on.
