by Mayor David Gordon North Grenville has lost a great and important person in the life of our community in the passing of George Fisher. George, we will miss you, you were one of the last gentlemen of this generation, caring and kind, giving your life to the community and the children of the world. George lived by the motto

“service above self” and, with his wife Norma, reached out, trying to help where help was needed. George and Norma were an inspiration, being true partners in life together, always caring, having a kind word and always having time to talk. Yo u c o u l d w r i t e a book on George’s accomplishments in life. He served his country proudly when called upon.

He became a lifelong Rotarian serving the needs of the community and the world. George was called the “Chairman of the Board”. He and Norma were honorary chairs of the North Grenville Library, raising over $1 million for the building of the library. George was a member of the Kemptville District Hospital Foundation Ambassadors circle,

raising funds for the hospital and community. As a couple, George and Norma were involved in every facet of the c o m m u n i t y, a l w a y s helping and not asking for any praise or acknowledgement. What I will remember most of George, is he and Norma dancing the night away, and both their smiles and kind words. George may you sit with the angels.
