It is with deep sadness that the family of Gerald Benson Fisher (Jerry) of Goderich, announce that he passed away peacefully on December 18, 2023 at Maitland Manor, in his 94th year.
Survived by loving wife of 73 years, Muriel (Schram). Survived by children, Mark Fisher(Karen) of Lethbridge, Karen Vanstone(Bruce) of Saltford. Grandfather to Lisa Fisher, Mathew Fisher (Chiho), Ben Vanstone (Jordan). Great Grandfather to Nick, Jamie, Joe, Kenshin and Koharu. Great-great Grandfather to Daxton and Kingsley.
Pre-deceased by son, Wane Fisher (Carp) and granddaughter, Del Daley Fisher.
Jerry will be missed by his family, friends and neighbors. Always known to be up for a game of pool, cards or dominoes and for his competitive nature. At 90 years old, Jerry was still adding up dominoes quicker than any of his opponents. Jerry loved to ride motorcycles and loved his Volkswagens. Jerry’s unique sense of humour will be greatly missed and all the jokes he played on everyone. He loved to entertain and their corn roasts at their home on Bennett St. were loved by all. Jerry and Muriel went to Florida for years and had many friends there too.
Jerry worked at The Goderich Elevators for most of his life until retirement.
Jerry and Muriel lived in Benmiller and moved to Goderich early in their marriage. They most recently lived in South Cove.
Donations to Huron Hospice-Bender House gratefully acknowledged.
At Jerry’s request, there will be no funeral home visitation or service. Cremation has taken place.

I’ll miss seeing Jerry in the halls at Maitland Manor looking so dapper wearing his special hat. Karen, you were such a devoted daughter and it was nice seeing you again too Mark when you came to visit from your home in the west. Your father lived a good long life. May he rest in peace. My condolences to your mother too.

I have far too many memories to share here but just one is of him riding to my office in Wingham on his Scooter and leaving anything that he found on his way. Oh – and the “Corn Roasts” that he and “Mure” hosted are legendary. RIP my friend ❤️
