FISHER, Larry (William Lawrence) - passed away on Tuesday, September 21, 2021, at the Pembroke Regional Hospital, at the age of 94 years. He lived a full rich life.

He leaves behind his beloved wife of 41 years, Susan (nee Meikle), his daughters Lori-Kaye Fisher (Lorne Foster) and Lora Decker (Bruno Joppen), and son, Scott Fisher (Ashley) and the pride of his life, his 4-year-old granddaughter, Olivia Fisher.

Larry was a huge part of the communities he lived in through his work, participation, and volunteerism in Kiwanis, Pembroke Legion, Crimestoppers, the Historical Society, Champlain Trail Museum and Pioneer Village. He was an avid curler and proud supporter of local hockey.
