So sorry to hear of the passing of Fraser. He was my dad’s nephew. (Earl Hunter) Fraser stood up with my mom and dad when they were married, he did the funeral for my mom and performed my dad’s second marriage to Ruth Frith. Both he and Helen were wonderful people and he touched so many lives. Rest easy, his work is done here on earth. - Posted by: Robin ( Hunter ) R (Cousin) on: Oct 29, 2023
