KENNETH ROSS FISCHER
Kenneth Ross Fischer of Brussels
passed away Sunday, March 16,
2003 in his home. Doris and all the
family surrounded him by his bed
side. Ken was in his 76th year.
Ken was bom Dec. 5, 1927 at Lot
11, Cone. 11, Grey Twp., the
youngest son of John Fischer and
Ettie Smalldon. He resided at the
farm from the time he married Doris
until 1980 when they moved to
Tumberry Street in Brussels.
Even though they lived in town,
Ken continued to farm and he loved
it. Farming was his true passion. He
was quite proud of his John Deere
machinery...’’Runs like a Deere” he
would say often truly believing the
cleaner and shinier his machine, the
better it would work. During the
winter months, after the harvest,
there was no time for rest. Once
there was snow, Ken could be found
driving the John Deere around town,
the snowblower on the back, clean
ing out various driveways, the arena
lot and Huronlea.
As all who knew him know, Ken
liked to laugh, tease and have fun
too. He loved to shoot a game of
pool with friends and family and
was quite good at it.
On Saturday nights, Ken and
Doris could be found at various
dance halls tearing up the dance
floor. They were great to watch and
pretty smooth.
In the last few months, Ken
missed all his buddies at the coffee
shop, the great conversations, the
friendships and just joking around.
He will be truly missed and
always loved.
Mourning his loss most deeply is
his wife Doris (White) and children
Carol Vandenberg of London,
Sandra Neable and her husband
Barry of Listowel, Bonnie Boyd and
her husband Doug of Kurtzville,
Murray Fischer and his wife
Marlene of Brussels, Bruce Fischer
and his wife Rhonda of Brussels and
Kendra Cardiff and her husband
Scott of Brussels. He was the dear
brother of Velma Ellacott of
Kitchener, Charlie Fischer and his
wife Laura of Brussels and Bill
Fischer and his wife Phyllis of
Cambridge. Ken was also loved by
his 16 grandchildren, four great
grandchildren, and his many nieces
and nephews.
He was predeceased by an infant
daughter, sister Elsie Thuell and
brothers George, Jack and Wilfrid.
Friends were received by the fam
ily from 2-4 and 7 - 9 p.m. Tuesday
at the Schimanski Family Funeral
Home, Brussels, where the funeral
service will be conducted on
Wednesday, March 19 at 2 p.m. with

Anglican Church officiating.
