Fraser Wallace
Smith – 94, Middleton,
passed away suddenly on Wednesday, September 22, 2021, at Valley
Regional Hospital, Kentville. Born in Brookside, Colchester County, he
was a son of the late Harry and Minnie (McCabe) Smith and step-son of

Fraser worked as a Civil Servant with the Federal Government

Scotia. An avid outdoorsman, he remained active until age 91, hunting,
fishing, four wheeling and keeping horses. He followed hockey and
cheered on his favourite team, The Pittsburgh Penquins, and everyone
in the house knew when they scored a goal! He enjoyed going for drives
on the backroads and telling stories of the past to whoever was with
him. He and his best friend Bobo travelled the roads, checking out the
sights and sipping on their coffees, always a double-double for
Bobo!
