Richard Frazier Obituary
Rick attended Hyannis schools, graduating from Barnstable High School in 1983. He and his wife, Marianne, began a family while living in South Yarmouth. Mr. Frazier worked at Barnstable High School cafeteria and the custodial department of South Yarmouth Elementary.
In 1996, the Fraziers moved to Royalston, Mass. Richard worked at the All Saints Church in Worcester, Mass., and Ashburnham-Westminster Elementary School, while attending classes at Wachusett Community College.
Rick returned to Hyannis in 2004 for two years, then moved to Florida, where he resided the last two years of his retirement.
Besides his parents, he leaves five children: Kristopher Frazier, Karylan Frazier, Kourtney Frazier, Kelly Frazier, Kassandra Frazier, and ex-wife, Marianne of Royalston, Mass. Other survivors include two sisters and their families: Tracy (Frazier) Rowell and Rich of South Hadley, Mass.; Rhonda J. (Frazier) Fowler and Kenny of Dennisport; aunts, Pat (Barros) Syrjala and Marilynn Frazier; uncles, Peter Tupper, and Mike Tupper; three nephews, two nieces, and numerous cousins, all of whom were his close friends. He also leaves his girlfriend, Lori Bassett of Florida.
Although a very avid reader, Rick himself enjoyed writing short stories and poetry. As a sports fan, his enthusiasm focused on C.C. League, Red Sox Baseball and the N.E. Patriots. He loved music from any era. He shared an abundance of love for children and animals. He was a blessing to his family and loved ones.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, Sept. 27, at the Doane, Beal & Ames Funeral Home, 160 W. Main St., Hyannis, at 11 a.m. Visiting hours will be held today from 3 to 6 p.m. Interment will be held at Oak Neck Cemetery, Hyannis.

Not a day goes by that I don't lovingly think of you, Ricky; Using your favorite prayer, that of St. Francis, brings me comfort.
(also use my own most repeated daily advice - brush my teeth and say my prayers: )Luv, Mum
- Prayer to St. Francis -
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

We are so sorry to the family of Rick. We are family and we wished we had been able to attend his services.
I remember when I was 15 I stayed with Terry and Dick to babysit Rick for the summer and Terry bought me school clothes to help out my parents. Ricky was always sick, poor thing, but he was a joy. We use to walk downtown Hyannis and he loved that trip with me. He would make me laugh so much. We will miss him. Love to all of you.

Our hearts go out to Terry and Hawk in this time of grieving. How horrible to lose any loved one, but especially to lose a son. Seems against the laws of nature to lose a child before the parents. No words will help, but know that you are on our minds and in our hearts. Terry and I have kept in touch all these years and feel like I knew each of her children thru her writing about them. Ricky did leave some much loved grandchildren to carry on the name and a lot of memories to keep tucked in your hearts.
Love, Peggy and Al Bumpus

Dear Brother,
Yesterday entered the English Ma'am
into class,asked us to drop a line to our best pal.
Should it be a poem or an essay,
questioned I, It must be a poem of
twenty lines.
Dear Brother,
What do I write,for you can not be penned in black and white.
No words can delineate my feelings for you
Believe me, since its true.
We share many ideas our loves and fears
And we also share hugs,much laughter and tears.
You are a guardian angel shining with love and real tender care
Your endless love is very rare
With you I never have a regret
Although how treasured you are, I often forget
I often thank our mother and father
for they gave me you,best friend,brother
Ricky will be missed with all my heart.We talked every day.Not only was he my brother, he was one of my best friends.I will love you Ricky always and forever....
Love Rhonda

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
