Capt. Fraser Derald Shepherd
1930-2023
The passing of Captain Fraser Derald Shepherd, loving husband
of Lillian May (Guptill) Shepherd occurred at the Grand Manan Nursing
Home, Grand Manan NB on January 10, 2023. Born on Wood Island NB on
November 10, 1930, he was a son of the late Hughitson and Madeline
(Green) Shepherd. A loving husband, father, grandfather,
great-grandfather and brother, in addition to his wife, Lillian,
Fraser is survived by his children: Anzonette (Barry) Urquhart, Capt.
V. Derald (Simone) Shepherd, Elliot Shepherd and Wilfred (Ginette)
Shepherd all of Grand Manan NB; 12 grandchildren; 20
great-grandchildren; one brother: Wendall Shepherd; many nieces,
nephews and cousins. Besides his parents, Fraser was predeceased by
his grandson: Corporal Brandon Shepherd; brothers: Allison and Murray;
and sisters: Jean, Audrey, Christine, Bernice and Pat.
At the age of 14 Fraser went to work on the Manning scow
hauling lumber from mills on the Fundy coast. Next, he went to sea on
oil tankers anywhere from Cuba to Montreal carrying fuel or molasses.
Then he worked on many fishing boats until he bought the Shirley and
Russell and started fishing and towing oil in a dracone. Then came the
Fundy Bay which was written up in the National Fishermen’s Magazine as
the largest at that time. In 1965 he had the Anderel built and ran his
freight and towing service until replaced by barges. This is when he
went to work for Coastal Transport as Mate and quickly stepped up to
Captain until retirement. Outside of work his interests were in
hunting, trapping and all things Wood Island.
