In Memoriam

On this page we remember former Fisgard apprentices that are no longer with us. Listed below are our former classmates known to have "crossed the bar". This is not a definitive list so if you are aware of a former Fisgard classmate that has passed, please let us know by emailing and we will include them on this page. Please give us much detail as possible, such as date of passing, entry number or month and year of joining Fisgard, division and trade if known and perhaps a photo. Also drop us a line if you can add more information or provide photos for those already listed.
