ADAIR, Fulton Muir
Muir passed away in the early morning of August 16, 2015 just 2 weeks before his 97th birthday. Muir was predeceased by his parents, Mary and John, his brother, Thomas, and in 2012 by his beloved wife, Chrissie. He is survived and greatly missed by daughters Margaret (Les), Patricia (Norm), grandchildren Jason, Dana, Kathleen (J茅r么me), Ian, and Marianne, and great-grandchildren Aiden, Zia, Mat茅o & Iona.
Born and raised in a small Ontario town, Muir explored every opportunity available to an inquisitive and independent boy. At age 16 Muir left home to begin a musical career in Florida, singing and playing guitar with the Paul Prescott Orchestra. Here Muir discovered what would become his life-long love for piloting small aircraft. Homesick for Canada, he left the orchestra and enjoyed a short career as a music instructor in rural Ontario. Muir served in the RCAF from 1941 to 1945. During his service in the UK, Muir met and married Chrissie. Muir landed at Omaha Beach on D-Day with Ground Control Interception 15082 (radar). His leadership and valor was recognized by France with his award of the Croix de Guerre and, in May 2015, the Legion of Honour. Following repatriation to Canada, Muir began his respected 30-year career in policing. After retirement Muir and Chrissie settled in 91原创, BC where they continued to enjoy their spontaneous road trips throughout the province.
Muir met every life opportunity with confidence and with gusto. He gave respect to all and, in turn, was recognized as a true gentleman. About his life - his achievements, his pastimes, his travels, his family - Muir told all of us, "I've had a ball!"
