George FISCHER

Mr. George Fischer November 4, 1932 - February 17, 2009 The family of George Fischer has lost a husband, father, grandfather, teacher and friend on Tuesday, February 17, 2009 at the age of 76. George showed his beloved wife Helen of 53 years and his five sons, Calvin, Aaron, Ian, Jason and Elston what life is really all about, family. He spent his life working hard and teaching his children and cherished grandchildren Danielle, Darby, Logan and Madeline that life is not measured by what you have but by what you do. He showed all of us that camping at Gull Lake, traveling, picking rocks and cooking and enjoying meals together were really important. His children and grandchildren will always remember that Dad and Grampa made the best pancakes and goulash! George was a member of Local Union 488 for over 50 years and was a master at his trade. He could fix anything you could throw at him. He was and always will be respected by all—family and friends for his devotion, unending generosity and warm smile. He loved and was proud of his sons and inherited loving daughters Debbie, Lara and Leighanne. George will be fondly remembered by his brother Bill, sister Loretta and sister Pauline, along with many close relatives, friends and co-workers. George was our solid steadfast rock. We are all proud to have known him and love him deeply. May his journey beyond be a happy one! We invite all of you to join us in saying good-bye on at 3:00 PM on Monday February 23, 2009 at St. Michael’s Resurrection Church, 10555-50 Street, Edmonton, Alberta. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke fund would be appreciated.
