FISHER, Eric Hedley Fisher  -  Peacefully surrounded by his children at the Deep River & District Hospital on Tuesday January 2^nd, 2024 in his 100^th year.

Beloved husband of the late Nellie Fisher (nee Curry). 

Loving father of Martin (Cynthia), Janice Rose (Stephen), Richard (Patricia) and Larry Walters (Julie). 

Loving grandfather of Leanne Adams, James Morgan, Michael Hogue (Shelby), Nicholas Rose (Emily), Mark Fisher (Erika), Sara Gehrke (Matt), Colin Fisher, Rebecca Walters (Ian), April Walters and Matthew Tomkins. 

Great-grandfather of Andrew, Rebecca and Isabella Adams; James Hogue; Maeson, Tatum & Quinn Gehrke; and Elodie Walters. 

Dear brother of the late Leslie Fisher, Thelma Brandt and Marjorie Finnigan.

Eric Hedley Fisher lived a long and unusual life – enough for two or three lifetimes.  He’d sailed around the world and back in the merchant navy. 

He was a brave man and didn’t often show his emotions, although he had them.  He was a good father, and the greatest gift he ever gave was to teach us to be strong and resilient.  “Godspeed, old salt.”

Visitation will be held at Northcutt Elliott Funeral Home, 53 Division Street North Bowmanville on Friday January 5^th from 6 – 8 pm.  Funeral Service will be held in the Chapel on Saturday January 6^th, 2024 at 11 am, with visitation from 10 – 11 am.

In lieu of flowers, Memorial Donations may be made to The Kidney Foundation.
