Hi Papa-I think of you almost every day and hear your voice in my head telling jokes and laughing. I miss you a lot, it´s been so long since you were here. I wish I´d spent more time with you and asked you more questions and had more conversations instead of wasting it on foolishness and my youth. I´m in a tough spot in my life and could use your guidance. Please help me if you can. I love you, pal. Stay loose.

I miss you so much Papa, You'll be 90 on Saturday... can you imagine!? I still want to hear that joke about the guy in the Navy too, you started to tell me the night before you left us but couldn't remember it. Someday I'll see you again and you will remember it! I talk about you all the time and wish you and Grandma could have been there for my wedding, She met my wife Lisa and loved her and I know you would have loved her too. Keep an eye on me, will you?

I love you, pal.

We miss you Papa. I know you're up there trying to pull some strings for everyone, though. You had a positive influence on all of us and everything I learned from you will live on. Rest in peace.

"I scream, you scream ,we all scream for Ice Cream"... That is the saying I always associate with Kenny. Whenever we met he would always be telling jokes, many forgetable, but so many memorable ones like the "I Left My Harp In Sam Plank's Disco"
This is what I will remember Kenny for, a very Funny man, well he was to me!!

A sad loss to the world.

God bless you all

Love, Maura

I was fortunate enough to meet Ken and Barbara, in England, at Andrew and Jane's wedding, in 1998 and again, in 2006, at the wedding of Mary Elizabeth and Kurt. I found Ken to be a true gentlemen. My thoughts are with Barbara, Mary Paula, Roy, Kenneth Jnr, Patrice and all your beautiful family and I offer my deepest sympathy to you all at your time of great sorrow and loss.

Ken, I shall always remember you with a smile on your face and a twinkle in your eye.You always made us very welcome on our trips to the States.My parents also sampled your hospitality and are very sad to hear the news. Andrew and I were delighted that you and Barbara crossed the Atlantic in 1988 to attend our wedding. It meant a great deal to us. You will be sadly missed by us all.

When the age of regular jet travel arrived in the 1960`s, Ken Fraser began to make regular business trips to England. Ever since that that time our family in Sheffield have always loved his company. His visits initiated a strong family connection, which continues to this day. Ken was one of lifes "Good Guys" , extremely interesting and always fun to be around. The only mischievous thing about Ken Fraser was his sense of humour !! He will be sorely missed , but he is now at peace. God Bless him .

Ken, please know that we are thinking of you and your family!! Please let us know if there is anything that we can do for you. Fondly,
