    • Obituary

      Died quietly in the Ottawa General Hospital of complications following pneumonia, on August 13th, 2011, aged 87. A long time resident of Sackville, New Brunswick, Jake was predeceased by his beloved wife of 55 years, Margery and their son, Alan. Loving father to Judith (Keith Purchase) of West Vancouver, Michael (Karen Phinney) of Niagara and Halifax, Susan (David McKellar) of Ottawa and Sackville and Ian (Judith Cane) of Ottawa; and proud grandfather of Sam Purchase, Colin Robertson and Sam Fisher. Jake is also survived by his elder sister Mary McOuat of Dartmouth and Sackville, his sisters-in-law Barbara Fisher of Halifax and Heather Seybold of Picton, his brother-in-law Davidson Campbell of Baltimore, and his cousins Ned Fisher and Nora Tapley of Sackville and George Fisher of Ottawa, as well as a large extended family. His brother Peter died in 2005. Jake was the elder son of Mary Kathleen (Fawcett) of Sackville and Charles Maurice Parkin Fisher of Saint John.
      [Jake grew up in Sackville, the son of Mary Kathleen (Fawcett) Fisher and Charles Maurice Parkin Fisher. Apart from boarding school at Bishops College School in Lennoxville and service during WW 2, he spent his life in Sackville and was content with the life it provided. There were happy memories of riding with his sister, pranks with his exuberant Fawcett cousins and sailing in Shediac. Later, he brought his bride Margery, a city girl from Montreal, to settle first on Park Street and later in the red house on the marsh. There they raised their five children and an assortment of golden retrievers, cats, horses, and cows. Jake also dabbled with farming, growing a variety of grains and was keenly interested in the potential of generating power from the Bay of Fundy tides. - from obituary on Campbell's Funeral Home]
      Jake had a lengthy career with the Enterprise Foundry Company of Sackville and the Workman’s Compensation Board in Saint John. He was an avid Rotarian for 60 years and had a keen interest in the history of the Maritimes. He attended BCS, McGill, Mount Allison and Khaki University, London, following service in WW 2.
      Visitation at Campbell’s Funeral Home on Friday, August 19th, 2011 from 7-9pm. The funeral service will be held at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Sackville, NB at 2pm on Saturday, August 20th, 2011.
      In lieu of flowers, donations to the Sackville Rotary Club or The Rotary Foundation (Canada) would be greatly appreciated by the family. c/o Campbell’s Funeral Home, 89 Bridge Street, Sackville, N.B. E4L 3P1 www.campbellsfuneralhome.com
