Mr. Fyfe was born to Scottish-Canadian parents on a farm near Hespeler on Jan. 18, 1915. He attended primary school nearby in a one-room schoolhouse. He joked that he was third in his class, adding after a pause, that his class had only four students. He and his family were congregants at St. Andrew's Hespeler Presbyterian Church. His father, John Fyfe, died in 1926, when he was 11 and he, his younger sister, Eleanor and mother, Ruth Bond Fyfe moved into Galt, where his mother ran a boarding house located on the grounds of the Galt Collegiate Institute. The boarding house, a large red Victorian structure, was demolished in the early 1950's. Having completed his secondary education at Galt Collegiate Institute, Mr. Fyfe earned his bachelors and masters degrees at the University of Toronto, finishing in 1939. During the Second World War, Mr. Fyfe served in Europe in the Canadian Army. He was a secretary to a general. In England, he met and married, in 1945, Edith Maud "Molly" Brazier, who survives him.

D. in Victorian literature at the University of Chicago in 1951, he taught at a number of colleges and universities in Montana, New Mexico and Iowa before settling in Terre Haute at Indiana State University in 1957. His daughter, Gwendolyn, was born in Montana. He was a professor of English at Indiana State University for twenty-four years, before retiring in 1981. His major research interests centred on the history of England leading up to and during the First World War. Always bookish, Mr. Fyfe spent his life reading and writing. When reading for pleasure, he rarely strayed into nonfiction. He loved opera. A lifelong Presbyterian, he was active in the church his whole life, serving as an elder and singing in the choir. He was an enthusiastic weekend golfer. He enjoyed visiting with his friends from the English Department, often over a beer at a local pub. He smoked a pipe.
