I had only met Fraser a handful of times, but each time we spoke, it’s like we knew each other for years.
One day he told me that life is what you make it and that he’s never had a bad day in his life. He also mentioned how much he loved to dance. I hope he’s dancing wherever he is now.
He was a great man and I’m sure he will be greatly missed. My condolences to the whole family and all that knew him.
Jeff and the Clarke family, Sorry to here of your Dad’s passing. Our sincere condolences to you and all the family

and quick with a joke.

We were so very sorry to hear that Uncle Fraser had passed. He was always so welcoming and would greet you with his beautiful smile. He was so full of life and lived life to the fullest. One of my earliest memories of Uncle Fraser was when we would all pile into his car and he would give us a run to our elementary school. In later years, I enjoyed the occasions when we would talk about his garden. Please accept our deepest condolences. I know that he will be dearly missed.
Poppy’s chair is now empty at Bldg. 107. We will miss his smiling face and the joy he brought to the Pioneers through the years. A lovely gentleman missed by many.

To the Clarke Family:
Sincerest condolences on the passing of Frazer.. i met him in the mid 70’s when he was with CNT and I was in the computer business, we became instant friends. He was a good scout in every way.. Our friend ship spanned close to 50 years. We were in the Data Processing Management Association, Masonic and Shrine. There was lots of socializing, and good memories. As we say in the Masonic:: He lived respected and died regretted!
Definitely one of the good ones. Such a pleasant and very funny character. Once you met him he made you feel like you knew him forever. Condolences to his family. RIP Fraser.
Chris and family, deepest sympathies on the loss of your grandfather, father, and friend. Chris, I have good memories of golfing with your Pop as a teenager. He was kind, patient with me as a slow golfer, and I got a great kick out of his secret club. May he rest in peace.
Our deepest sympathies to all the family. Fra was full of life and energy and lived life to the fullest.
Love Liz, John, and family.

Uncle Fraser you will certainly be missed! From your infectious smile , your energetic nature and charismatic personality you had a true zest for life! Your absence will be felt far and wide by many. God bless the whole family, until we meet again!
I love and will miss Uncle Fraser. I had the privilege and joy of seeing him several times since coming back to St. John’s in July 2024. His big smile will be forever etched in my mind and very special Clark Family memories. I am sure he is smiling down on all that loved him and dancing up above us.
My sincere condolences to Fraser’s family on the loss of a real force of nature. I have known Fraser through my previous life in telecommunications . When I was hired as a sales rep for Northern Telecom, one of my clients was CNT and a key contact for me was Fraser . He was always so accommodating to me as I knew very little about the business and Fraser was a mentor to helped me greatly as I gained a foothold in that complex business. I had the pleasure of dealing with Fraser for close to three decades . He had a superlative sense of humour while at the same time being very attentive and sensitive of the needs of others . RIP my friend
To Fraser’s Family. Please accept my sincerest condolences on Frraser’s Passing. Had the pleasure of knowing him and enjoying his company at Curling Tournaments in Gander and many outings for BSHFBI out at Twin Rivers trying desperately to get that elusive “BIRBIE”.
I pray that the love of your Family and Friends and the many fond memories help you all through this most difficult of times. RIP MY FRIEND
For the Clark family, my condolences. I so enjoyed Fraser’s company at curling. We played both together and against each many times, especially the construction bonspiel. He was certainly one of the boys, a man missed by us all.
Mr. Clark was undoubtedly one of my favorite people! We kept in touch over the years and he always shared how his garden was going. My parents also really loved him and we were so touched when he came to their wake. My heart goes out to the family, as they have certainly lost a great soul. Rest in peace Mr. Clark, we will miss you.
Condolences to the Clark family. I have only known Fraser for the past 12 years he has much joy and sunshine into Susan’s and the Noseworthy family. He will greatly missed.
Sorry to hear of Fraser’s passing . He was always the life of our gathering at the Friday curling time . Laughter ,stories and generosity were always plentiful when Fraser was around . Really will miss his enthusiasm for life .
