Sending condolences to the Fraize Family. Back in the early 70's I met Russ at the Moody Spa in Waltham and we found out by accident that we were both Fraize's and we were related through my Father Reginald. We invited Russ to help celebrate my Mom and Dads 50th Anniversary in 1985. He really added to the party. We also knew Russ at School Street Elementary School where our Daughter Attend. Russ you will be missed by all the Fraizes in Massachusetts. Ken and Claire Fraize
