Gary Edward Fisher
August 20, 2018
After a four year struggle with Alzheimer’s, Gary E. Fisher passed away peacefully on Monday, August 20, 2018, with Judy by his side.
Gary is lovingly remembered by his loving wife Judy; four daughters, Melanie (Tuy), Jennifer (Tim), Jaime (Jeremy) and Amanda. Gary has 10 grandchildren who affectionately called him “Grumpy”, Mackenzie, Brennan, Joe, Jack, Kaylee, Jalynn, Troy, Kayla, Jayna and Jesse. Gary is also survived by his sister Linda (Dave) and brother Robert (Barb). Gary was tragically pre-deceased by his son Jeremy and his daughter-in-law Maria.
Gary worked for 35 years as a delivery driver with Canada Post. He was an accomplished painter, loved to fish, golf and bowl. Judy and Gary loved going to garage sales and picked up treasures from all over that they could sell with their friends at the flea markets. When Gary was younger, he played guitar and sang in a band.
Judy would like to recognize the awesome staff at the Evanston Grand Village, especially the nurses and health care aids, for their compassionate care of Gary the past four years.

Uncle Gary. The first uncle I thought was normal. Going to family reunions was always easier knowing you would be there. Made the greater family of characters so much more approachable with your chill attitude. Will not be the same with you not there. ~ Jeremy
