Age 75, of Bedford, Nova Scotia, passed away peacefully at home on March 4, 2017, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Born in Victoria, BC he was a son of Eloise Angeline (Bishop) and the late John W. Fisher.

Brian attended Concordia University (Sir George Williams) in the ROTP program and graduated in 1963 with a Bachelor’s degree in Science. Following graduation, Brian commenced his career as an Officer in the Canadian Navy, where he shared a brotherhood and met most of his life-long friends. Brian retired as a Commander in 1995.
He was an avid sportsman who loved hunting, fishing and golfing.
In retirement, he also enjoyed many winters with Marg and one of their beloved dogs traveling south in their RV. A few of his many passions were his seven grandchildren, working on his two MG sports cars, genealogy research, his motorhome and doing projects around the house.
Brian was a wonderful man, father and husband who will be sadly missed, fondly remembered but never forgotten!
We would like to send a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Keating, Dr Milroy, Dr Graham and all the wonderful nurses.
Cremation has taken place. A private family memorial service will take place at a later date. If you wish please make a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society.

“FIGHTER”
A warrior
So strong and brave
He fights to see another day
His wife he loves
And she loves him back
A family man there’s no
Doubt about that.
The battle he fights
The toughest one
It takes a toll
There is so much pain
But yet he fights
For his children and grandkids
The bravest grandfather one would ever see
He puts up a front
Through all the pain,
He manages to smile.
He is so brave.
At Christmas he sits and reads
Giving his grandchildren
Such precious memories
Teaching them how to be
Strong and brave.
He is in so much pain
But yet rarely complains
It’s truly amazing
How hard he fights.
He fights for you, he fights for his life
He has so much to live for
And through his strength
You will see
The face of true
Bravery.
By Maggie MacNeil, Brian’s beloved granddaughter
