33
Year Veteran Employee of Federal Depts., of Transport & Communications
Suddenly, in hospital, in Scarborough, on Tuesday, November 24, 2009, just 3
days after celebrating his 73rd birthday, with his beloved family. John was born
in Montserrat, West Indies,on November 21, 1936.
He
was the dearly loved son of the late Herbert and Doris Fraser, nee` Leverock of
the West Indies. Mr. Fraser was the cherished husband of Carol Fraser (nee`
Leckie) of Perth, and he will be profoundly missed by his loving son,, Michael
(Angely) Fraser of Toronto, and his cherished daughter, Lori (Gary Puckering)
Berketa, of Ottawa. Treasured Grandpa to Clarissa, Brenton, Ashley, Rostam,
Hayley and Matthew. Wonderful cousin to Heather (Walter) Greubel, of Hamilton,
and Peter (Lorraine) Griffin of Port Credit.
Mr. Fraser had an outstanding career in the Federal Government, and, as a young
man,while in the R.C.A.F., John gained great experience as an aircraft mechanic
in Downsview, Ontario, He loved HAM radio, and operated under call sign VE3U0
"Uncle Oscar".
John also enjoyed playing guitar with bluegrass musical group OVER THE HILL,
while his wife Carol sang. They lovingly entertained the people of Perth and
surrounding area for many years.
I
had the privilege of working with John at Industry Canada (former Department of
Communications) for many years. John was a wonderful man with a great sense of
humour who never uttered an unkind word about anyone. John will be missed. To
his family, I extend my sincerest condolences.

My Deepest regrets
to Carol and Family. I first met John in Toronto as a new Radio Inspector of
DOT. A wonder fellow to work with and as an associate during his later career in
Ottawa.
