WOW!! I wish I knew this was here, better late then never. I can't beleave it has almost been 2 years. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of him. He is a legend in my book and will always be in my heart. I remember on his B-day that year my daughter said "why don't we get him baloons" I said "but we can't give them to him" she said "yes we can he is up in heaven so when we go visit him at the grave yard we can just let the baloons go, and he will get them". You know what, people are right kids can say the cutest things. Rick I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH. Thanks for all the good times.

To ALL of you: I think of & remember Ricky a lot, his death has been very differcult for me. We were casual friends (who both talked alot!!). I'm sure what all of you must be going thru is even more intense. I want you ALL to know that you're in my thoughts often. As usual I'm last minute writing my feelings - I hope some of you get this & get in touch with me. I loved your dad, your lover, your brother & your friend. He made me LAUGH! I miss Ricky & his big smile.
He was good to all of us. We should try to pass on his laughter & his love for making people HAPPY. Thinking of you, Patty Cap.

my dearest rick,
its all to close to that day, just hours away from when I found out you were gone. my heart aches, my soul breaks, I just don't know how to overcome this horrible pain that you left behind. brenden is in nyc. ryan is keeping busy and pretty brit is cleaning our room. i guess what i'm trying to say is that we are trying to keep busy, but deep down inside, we know what is coming. It doesn't seem like a whole year has gone by, for it so seems like yesturday. we love and miss you very very much. to bonnie and mike, thanks for remembering us in this painful time. it means the world to us to know that there are friends like you that remember us in this difficult time. Bonnie your so right, there are far too many memories to let the bad ones shadow his life. thanks again. I will probably be awake tonight, all to much remembering that horrible knock on the door and then the painful time I had to sit with my babies and let them know that dad was gone.

thanks for beingthere

Just sitting here thinking about how much I miss Rick. He is my best friend we grew up together and shared quite abit. I miss the laughter and the stupid looks we shared. WE had this connection with just a look and I knew and he knew what we were thinking about. I miss the laughter Rick's taste in Music. Everytime I hear the Stones I think if him. It's been a year coming up. All I can say is I am trying to do the best without him...It sucks

August 30, 2008

Susan and family,
We are thinking of you! Keep thinking of the good times, as you said there were many and they are far more important than any bad.
Love Bonnie and Mike Quinn

August 25, 2008

Hey Rick,

Well its almost that time, I can't believe that it has almost been a year since you have been gone. I remember it just like it was yesturday, and I will always remember when that knock came to our door. How are we doing? It all depends on the mood for that day. We miss you so much, It hurts to know that we will never see you, we will never hear from you, that you just aren't there in the physical sense of the word. I just know how to tell you how much you are so missed and how we wish you were still here with us.
I want to take this time, for your guestbook will be closing soon, to thank everyone for their support and love through this very difficult time. I know that rick would of appreciate the kindness that you have shown and we, as his family want to thank you as well. Rick will be missed greatly and we will always continue to love him today and always. Right know this is very difficult for us, everyone says the first year is the worst but I feel that each day and each year that he is away from us is just as bad.
Thank you all again for your best wishes, we have each other and that will keep us going as well as all those great wonderful memories that we shared. To all his friends, Thanks for all the good times and memories we all shared together. You will always be his brother and friend as well as a part of this family.
To our Fraser family, we had it all at one time and we shared so very special, loving and crazy times. Stay close and never forget that we will always be family today and always. Stay close and carry on Ricks memory and his love for all of us. To my beautiful children. Your Dad was and always be with us, even though you can't physically see him, he is and always will be around, you just need to open your heart and let him in. He loved you all so very much. I know that he never wanted this to end like this, but remember he isn't gone, he hasn[t gone far, we will see him with every sunriise and each sunset. We will see him in our dreams and hopes for the future. He never actually went anywhere. for he will always be here with us all.
To my husband, what can I say..... I miss you each and every day, I am grateful for all the good actually all the great times that we had and shared. I will keep your love and memories alive and will share them with our grandchildren (God willing) take care my friend, forget all the bad and know that we will always remember all the good. I love you...

Rick,
Well,Rick, sometimes our children say it all, they don't hold back, and maybe, thats a good thing. Brittany told you how she hurts today and everyday, she comes from her heart. when you experience a pain that seems so unbearable, thats when their true feeling come out. Ryan... our middle child, as I always said one of the golden lights in our lives, he is now inverted. His pain, I must say is far worse that the rest and it breaks my heart to see him go through this. He was always the strong one in his own way, not to say that Brenden or Britt feel the same thing, its just different. They all mourn in their own ways. there is not right or wrong in this. I feel that what they are trying to say Rick, is that the will always remember the fun times, all the good times we had and all the memories we all will have, even boboo feels the same way. Its almost a year know, yet we can always remember that day Ray came to the door, when in my heart, for one second it seemed like a dream, or should I say, more like a nightmare, Yet as of today, we try very hard to keep ourselves together, for what you don't know is that each day gets longer and lonely without you. They can no longer call you, it hurts them that they can't feel you anymore. What I try to tell them is that, you are and always will be around them, all they have to do is open their hearts, I don't think that they are ready for that just yet. so many emotions, in time it will get better, God knows, not easier, but better. So in this 4th of july holiday, all those times we had with all the crew, all we have now is lots of memories,,,,,great ones at that. Rick, take care, know that I will always be there for you and our kids. We miss you terribly, but we all know that you really didn't leave us even though, at the moment we can't see you, there will come a time when we will all be together again. We love, miss and wish you were still here. We love you,

Your family,

Susan, Bren, Ryan and pretty Britxoxoxoxo

We will always love you

Hey Daddy.. today's a tough day - i dont even know why.. whenever i think of you my eyes seem to automatically tear. i guess the reality of it all is finally starting to sink. That the only time i can get an idea of huggin you is in my dreams.. i miss you with every bone in my body - and everyday the pain increases, sometimes i cant handle it.. but i do my best and i keep my smile on. What really keeps me going is that i always have you. I have your blood runnin through me, you are a part of me - other than mom you created me as well. That keeps me going cause i have that connection and i always will for the rest of my life. I love you daddy.. i love you so much. Words cant describe how much pain i feel.. im still angry at the fact that your gone - its still not fair. Im suppose to have time more time - 16 years wasnt enough. i wanted 80 years lol. More than 16, thats just not right. I cannot believe its almost been a year since the worst day of my life came.. to hear the news that your were no longer alive. That day repeats in my head, your always on my mind.. every day i think about you. I just cant accept it dad.. i dont want to accept it, but i know i have too.. i guess im bein selfish. Idk.. besides that - i do have the greatest memories with you.. you were crazy and i loved it, cause i was exactly the same lol. You taught me things that will make me a better person.. i did listen to you when you lectured me dad lol. I miss our all night convos and how you use to sit at the computer thinkin you knew what you were doing.. but in reality you were NOT the head of all communications lol. I miss the family pool parties.. i miss the random trips to Wendys, Mickey D's and BK with you actin like you had just got out of an asylum "he forgot to take his meds" lol. Watch over us dad.

I love you more than anything.
I miss you more every day that passes

I miss those rides though. we'd always talk about the most random things. me and britt called them "death rides" cause you would drive crazy but we loved it. everything down here is going okay! britt got a new puppy named Rico (of course you love the name) He is adorablee! i miss you ricky. and i know britt does more and more everyday. but she is doing amazing. she is staying so strong for everyone. :)

Today is another bad day. some days are worse than others. I know that some how some where you are with us. Brittany keeps watching the videos of us all when we were a family and it saddens me to see her go through go much pain, she loves and misses you oh so much. Ryan tries to be a trooper in all of this, but it takes a mother to see that he is hurting just as much. Bren tries to be strong and thinks that I can't see his pain, yet, once again, a mother can see through this and know that he is hurting just like the rest of us, yet he will never admit this, Rick there isn't a day that goes by that you are not with us, whether in our thoughts or hearts or our mind. you in deed was something special in your day and we will hold on to all those great memories now and forever. You have been and always will be such a strong presence in our lives. no one can ever take that away. I love our videos of the kids and us and will always thank God you had that video camera with you even though we use to yell at you to turn it off. I remember that nana was always telling you, Dick turn that thing off. only she would use other words LOL... I miss you kiddo.

always and forever.......sue

Rick.
Things just haven't been the same since you've been gone. The kids miss you so bad as do I . I guess the saying is true when they say you never really know what you had till its gone. I hope where ever you are, your okay. You and only you know how I feel. so many memories, so many good, great and sometimes some difficult times, but I never thought it would end this way. I had high hopes for us to see our children grow old and watch our grandchildren grow. You left too soon. You were suppose to walk pretty Brit down the aisle, you were suppose to hold our first grandchild and have fun watching them grow, just like papa did and nana. Know its just me. Your family have been great to us. Ray is always there, a phone call away, Deb is as usual, awesome... Brian has been a rock and keeps holding us all together. Whereever you are, I know that you are with us in spirit. and I know that you are there with me helping me with our kids. I miss you, I miss ore talks and mostly all the great times we had together. 27 years is a very long time with a bunch of great memories, that I will always cherish. We did have some rough times, but deep in my heart I know and you know what we meant to each other. nothing can ever take that away. I knew you and you knew me. You were my best friend and just like I said to nana when she asked me before we married, what was it about you that made me want to marry you, and as I told you so many , many times,
you always made me laugh. I just want to thank everyone for their love and support during this very difficult time. We will always remember that. And Rick,
thank you for the good times, even the rough times could never take away all the fun times we shared. You will always be a big part of my life and my heart. Thank you for just being you.....I will always love you.... Susan

We had originally planned to meet at Rick's Gravesite this Saturday 4/19. Unfortunately due to scheduling conflicts we have to change the date until the following Saturday 4/26 to view his new headstone.
I hope to see you all there at 12:00. We had planned to go to Francisco's Pizzeria for a few cold ones after.

Hey everyone,
Rick's Children, Brenden, Ryan & Brittney have had a headstone made for their Dad. It is absolutely awesome, something I know my brother Rick would have been very proud of.

When you see it you'll know what I mean !!

We would like to get together at Rick's grave next Saturday 4/19/08 @ 12:00 to dedicate the stone.
Please try to make it so we can share together our love, respect, laughter Rick brought to each and every one of us...
We will try to all get together after for drinks and food and a few chuckles

This isn't a somber moment at all, a celebration of the Life of my Brother, your friend, your Uncle, your brother-in-law.............Rick Fraser.

I miss him like crazy and have "Rickamotions" daily.. Some good, some sad, some just plain pissed off...know what I mean...

Hope to see you all there !!!
Thanks
Brian

I agree with Brenden Ricky was a great guy, he always made people laugh, we always seem to get to know everyone where ever we were because he would make so many friends, he was a loving, caring boyfriend and I miss him alot. I want to thank everyone for all of their support in our times of need. Ricky would have been proud of all the people who showed up at the wake/funeral. He loved you all.
Luv you Rick.....Cheryl

To all of my Fraser cousins, Sue and the kids,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. It's hard to believe how much time has gone by since I last saw each of you.

I have so many fond memories of Ricky. I will always cherish the time we spent together. There was never a dull moment with him.

I will think of him every time I hear the Rolling Stones, especially Beast of Burden - or as Ricky would say, "I'll never leave your pizza burning."

Keep a smile on your face when you think of him. That is how he should be remembered, with all of his vitality and sense of humor.

I miss him already.

With Love,

Cathy Rowley Capizzi

Rick was a great co-worker and friend. Even though we didn't cross paths often in recent years, he always brightened my day when we had a few moments to catch up and reminisce. I'll miss his cheeriness and great sense of humor.
