Donald Hugh Fraser
1944-2022
It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Donald
Hugh Fraser of Fredericton. Hugh was born in Saint John on December 3,
1944 and grew up in Blissville, NB. He was the son of Donald Price
Fraser and Ethel Blanche (Watson) Fraser.
Besides his parents Hugh was predeceased by his brother,
Angus Fraser and sister, Jacqueline Barr and brother-in-law, Paul
Barr. Hugh was the last surviving member of his immediate
family.
Hugh is survived by his stepdaughter, Kenora Sorgenfrie,
nephew, Andrew Barr (Achala), niece Kiersten MacGillivray,
sister-in-law, Wendy Chapman and cousins, Peter Fraser (Patricia) and
Sally Chamberlain (Bruce); their families and many friends throughout
Canada and the U.S.
Hugh graduated from Sunbury West Regional High School and
continued work as a farmer with his father later becoming a commercial
pilot flying small industrial planes and water bombers for forest
fires throughout eastern Canada, and all provinces as far west as
Saskatchewan. His last employment years were in the service of his
community with Trius Taxi.
Hugh had an early love affair with
“special” cars (including a certain little red
t-bird) and a distinct attraction to airplanes. He travelled
extensively for his flying work and visited Florida several times and
California. Hugh tramped around the great outdoors in good sport with
hiking companions. He also loved birds, cats and creatures of the
wild.
Hugh was a compassionate and honourable man with a golden
heart. His captivating and funny stories of life and adventure
entertained everyone who knew him and will be remembered with a smile.
He will be missed by all.
As per Hugh’s wishes there will be no visitation or
funeral. Cremation is to take place with interment at a later date in
Blissville Cemetery. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to a
charity of the donor’s choice.
