was he inspiration for Red Fisher of Scuttlebutt Lodge and in turn for the Red Green show, or am I thinking of someone else?

You are thinking of someone else but it's easy to be confused.
The other guy in this case was also named Red Fisher - an outdoorsman who hosted radio and tv programs
I crossed paths with Montreal's Red Fisher on several occasions.
RIP Mr. Fisher

I was confused about them as well.
Here's the wiki page on the "other" Red Fisher.

Mr. Fisher will be buried in Montreal on Wednesday
He was preceded in death by 10 days by his wife Tillie.
She passed January 9th
Tillie Fisher was 90
They were married 69 years & counting
Also interesting to note that Don Cherry made no mention of Red's passing on his Saturday night tv spot
Cherry always blamed Fisher in large part for getting him fired in Boston
Hell of a long grudge
