REUBEN S. FISCHER
Reuben S. Fischer of Saskatoon passed away Dec. 8. He was born July 15, 1925 to John B. and Sarah Fischer at Laird, Sask., the youngest of 4 children. He grew up on the family farm and remained there following his marriage to Louise in 1951. After 5 years, he and Louise moved to Saskatoon. His career progressed from construction worker, carpenter and foreman to carpentry teacher and department head at Kelsey Institute, where he stayed for 25 years. He enjoyed golfing and fishing at Cowan Dam. He built 2 family homes. He loved to travel with Louise. In 1987 his health began to fail due to repeated small strokes, which affected his abilities and personality. After a massive stroke in October 1999, he moved to Central Haven Nursing Home. He is remembered for his easygoing nature and uncomplaining attitude. Predeceased by his parents, stepmother Agatha and 1 sister, he is mourned by Louise; children Audrey Neufeld, Donna McCullum and Robert; and 7 grandchildren. The funeral was Dec. 12 in Forest Grove Community Church, Saskatoon, with Abe Klassen ministering.
