President of Branch 120 Royal Canadian Legion for approx 10 yrs. Also well known on the front desk of the Georgetown Post office for many years. Member of the Royal British Navy, helped crack the enigma code of the Germans, He was a telegraphist.

​
- My parents lived next door to the Wards on McGilvray and I knew his wife Ada. Interesting fact about his role with Enigma, I never knew that.
- The Ward Family were very dear family friends. We kids have such warm memories of our visits with Norm and Ada. ❤️
- Norm Ward is my Dad. He didn’t talk much about the navy and it wasn’t until 50 years later that he even talked about what he did in the service and the enigma code. Years later he bought a ham radio and could still send Morse code 25 words a minute.
Miss you Dad 💕
- His licensed Amateur Radio call sign was VE3UMI .
- yes it was and we still have his licence plate with his call sign.
- A Great Man & A Great Legion Member
- In the September 1998 issue of the Halton Amateur Radio Club news letter I wrote "We have also lost members that became Silent Keys. Roger Heed VE3KVG / VA3HR
My close friend since High School and long time radio buddy. Harry Hoyle
VE3NOF My close friend and my inspiration on running for President. And most recently Norm Ward VE3UMI Norm had a lifelong interest in radio and earned his license later in life. Unfortunately he did not have long to enjoy his hobby due to illness.
These three guys were Hams. My definition of Ham is someone who spends much
of their free time playing radio and often sleeps with the radio on.
I will be listening for the signals from above. If there is a way to Ham from beyond these guys will find it. John VE3JAA"

​When the Georgetown Royal Canadian Legion Branch discontinued its sponsorship of the local minor hockey organization in the late 1950s, Fisher assumed the house league chairman role with the incoming group of volunteers and went on to serve in several other capacities over close to three decades.
According to officials with the Georgetown Hockey Heritage Council, Fisher was set to receive its annual award in 1984 but passed away at the age of 65, just weeks before the induction ceremony and instead received the posthumous Murray Ezeard Award.
Fisher, a Winnipeg native, spent every Saturday through the fall and winter at the rink, serving as a head coach, timekeeper, general manager of registration and chief fundraiser, always carrying draw tickets in his pockets to sell.
He also coached minor baseball teams in Georgetown for several years.
