Fraser McGruer Obituary
A beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Fraser McGruer died peacefully in Owen Sound with family at his side on June 26th, 2024 in his 87th year.
He will be dearly missed by his wife, Wendy (née Andrews), sons, Christopher and Brodie, grandchildren, Dominie and Solomon, sister Christine McCulloch and her husband, Ronald McCulloch, their children Eileen and Marjorie, sister Fiona Toth and her husband, Nick Toth, their children Nicky and Andrew, as well as multitudes of dear family and friends.
Fraser was born September 30 to Winifred and Andrew in Clynder, Scotland. Fraser apprenticed at McGruer & Co., the family boat building company established in 1911 in Barremman, Clynder. He learned to sail as a child on the River Clyde on an international 6 metre yacht with his Uncle Willie.
Fraser met his wife, Wendy Barbara Andrews, while in the Royal Air Force in Valletta, Malta. They were married in Portsmouth, England on May 12, 1962. Shortly thereafter, Fraser and Wendy immigrated to Owen Sound, Ontario Canada where they began their new life. For over twenty years, Fraser and Hubert Vandestadt ran the Vandestadt and McGruer Limited boat building company, where over six thousand sailboats were constructed and sold. Fraser, Hubert and Otto Visser built The Clog & Thistle restaurant and Marina in 1978 which fulfilled a dream of having another full service mooring for boaters in Owen Sound.
Lover of sailing, wood working, books and the occasional single malt, he will be sorely missed by his family and friends. After cremation, the family plans to honour Fraser at the Brian E. Wood Funeral Home on August 10th from 2-4 p.m. Remembrances will be shared by the family at 3 p.m. Donations to the Owen Sound Hospital Foundation are welcome.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the Brian E. Wood Funeral Home, 250 14th St. W, Owen Sound, 519-376-7492 with memorial online at www.woodfuneralhome.ca.
