Age 74, Cheticamp passed away on Friday, March 24, 2023 at Sacred Heart Community Health Centre, Cheticamp. Roderick was a son of the late Pierre and the late Josephine (Doucet) Fiset.<\/p>\n
Roderick worked as a member of Local 73 as a Tig Welder from 1969-2008, when he retired. Over those 38 years, he became respected as a master of his trade, while remaining very humble. His passion and knowledge have been lovingly passed on to his two sons, Curtis and Rodney. During many of those welding years, he worked at many welding shops, and fished crab with his brothers, on the Helene Pierre.<\/p>\n
In 2008, Roderick dedicated his time fishing crab with his son in law, Gilles Larade and his daughter, Cortney on Carter\u2019s Catch.<\/p>\n
He was always willing to lend a helping hand in his shed without wanting anything in return. He had a huge heart and touched many lives with his kindness. Roderick was a volunteer fireman for many years. He enjoyed trout fishing with his brothers, playing 200, and watching his favorite team, the Montreal Canadiens, play.<\/p>\n
Throughout his sickness, he had constant care and companionship from his beloved wife, Patricia, and his loyal german shepherd, Jack. Although he was a man of few words, he loved and felt deeply for his family and friends, who will miss him dearly.<\/p>\n
Roderick is survived by his wife, Patricia; sons, Curtis Fiset and Rodney (Jessica) Fiset; daughters, Amanda (Claude) Deveau and Cortney (Gilles) Larade; brother, Wilfred (Freda) Fiset; grandchildren, Parker Fiset, Summer Deveau, Chloe Fiset, Ava Fiset, Dustin Fiset, Chase Fiset. Carter Larade, and Emma Larade.<\/p>\n
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by brothers, Vincent Aurel Fiset, Aurel Fiset, Armand Fiset, and Jean Pierre Fiset.<\/p>\n
Visitation will be held on Thursday, March 30, 2023 from 1-4 pm at Cheticamp Funeral Home followed by a memorial service at 4 pm in the funeral home. Burial to follow in St. Peter\u2019s Cemetery, Cheticamp.<\/p>\n
Memorial donations in Roderick\u2019s memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Nova Scotia or the Canadian Cancer Society.<\/p>\n
We would like to thank Dr. Am\u00e9lie Maillet and the nursing staff of the Sacred Heart Community Health Centre for their compassionate care in Roderick\u2019s final days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
