South Bar
1928-2022
As you’re reading this, our father has made his last trip from the South Bar Wharf, pulled his last lobster trap, and played his Gibson and sang with us all for the last time. On Friday, December 2, 2022, at The Cove Guest Home, father of Beth Latham, Francis (Corinne), Valarie (Jerry) Sampson and Jake (Amy) died gracefully surrounded by his children.
Dad was employed by Devco for many years, was a full-time lobster fisherman and in later years an entrepreneur. Dad was an avid sportsman and loved to go fishing and hunting in the highlands. But his greatest joy was playing the guitar and singing with his family.
Francis was the son of the late Dan and Hannah (MacKinnon) Fraser, formerly from Lowland Cove. He was also predeceased by his brothers, Simon, Danny, Angus, Ronald, Richard, Paul and sisters, Christina Drover, and Mary Roper.
Francis is survived by his brother, William (Mary), South Bar, and his sister, Catherine Clements, NB; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He also leaves behind his wife of 24 years, Hazel (Milley) Fraser; left to mourn are his grandchildren, Brad, Fraser (Tina) and Daniel (Carolyn) Latham and Shaun, AB, Trevor, Todd (Lynda) Fraser, and Noelle (Jeff) Breau, NB, Steven (Kate) Lynk, Pamela (DG) Francis, Ellen Sampson, and Donald (Jenna) Sampson, Kristin Morrison, Abigale Fraser and 13 great-grandchildren.

(entrance on Church St.), Whitney Pier on Wednesday, December 7, 2022, at 1 p.m. with Rev. Sheldon Chant officiating. Following the service, a reception will be held in the funeral home. Francis will be laid to rest in St. Alphonsus Cemetery, Victoria Mines.
