Dr. Frazier began seeing me back in 1993 after I had acted mischievously as most adolescents begin to at the age of 13. Dr. Frazier contuned to see me from the age of 13 to 26. Today, I find myself working for a fortune 500 company, a beautiful house, precious wife and daughter + going back to school for my degree in Physical Therapy. In addition, I have a closer than ever relationship with both of my parents. I owe much of my success to you Dr. Frazier. You will never be forgotten, always thinking about you :)

It's now 2011 and I just learned with sadness that Dr. Richard Frazier had passed away. I was his patient for five years during the years of 1990 to 1995. I began seeing him after my sister's suicide and I ended up in a depression myself. I saw him weekly and still think about him on occasion even now. I feel like he saved my life. Seeing him helped me through an extraordinarily difficult time. Thank you Dr. Frazier! I owe you so much.

I have been gone from Roanoke since I was 15 and that is when I knew Dr. Frazier. I just thought about him today and decided to look him up and found he has passed away. Dr. Frazier was a very important part of my life when life was not good for me. He helped me in ways I can never explain. I am now a successful engineer with a wonderful wife and family which none would be possible without him. I liked him and was his friend from the first moment we met.

Dr. Frazier was a God-send to our family. My heart skipped a beat when I found out he had passed. What a wonderful, caring man -- a rare gift to all of us.

I found out today about the loss of Dr. Frazier. I hadn't seen my friend & colleague for some time since I took a job up the road a bit. I enjoyed working with him at the Lewis-Gale Pavilion for several years. He usually had a smile and something witty or funny to say. I think our work-based friendship came from our appreciation for one another's sense of humor which is and was very 'young at heart'. He was a great person. He was certainly all business at times too. I remember him telling me how impressed he was when I went to graduate school to further my interest in Psychiatry. He said I could do a lot to help others with mental health issues. I think he would be proud too that I have taken up yoga and am quite fond of it. I will miss his sweet face and happy heart. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones for your loss.

Although I knew he was ill the last time I saw him, Dr. Frazier maintained that he was going to beat "whatever this stuff is." I loved him for his seriousness and his humor, hs reciprocity about feelings. I remember one appointment when we talked for 10 minutes about my socks and where I got them (in New York, at Steve Maddens's, on 34th St.), and whether he could he get them online (he disliked computers intensely). If I felt lousy when I came to see him, I always felt better when I left. Though it was difficult for me to walk from the bus stop to his office due to physical problems, the walk back always felt easier. Dr. Frazier was kind to me, concerned with my general health, and a great laugher. When he talked about his sons he was always proud, and once I saw his eyes glisten with tears as he talked of them. I will miss him, and also his congenial office staff. My best wishes to his family, whom he loved fiercely. No one can replace him.

Some people measure success by money, power, and other kinds of wealth. However, it is not really all of the “things” that a person has accumulated that count. To him, relationships were the most important thing. Dr. Frazier’s success can easily be seen all over this community – through his patients and family.
“Poppie”, as he was known in our family, was a wonderful father and grandfather. He was actively involved in our lives and was always supportive of each of us. The time he spent reading to the grandchildren and helping with homework will be cherished. We will also fondly remember playing with him out at the farm. Some of the best memories are of the camping trips and canoeing & snow skiing trips all over the country.
Poppie was always there when you needed him. He had a great sense of humor and was incredibly patient. The void he has left in our lives is great. We will miss many things about him. To know him, was to know what a character he was. There is truly no one else like him. He was a brilliant, kind, caring, and trustworthy man. Words alone cannot express our sorrow and grief.
Thank you, Poppie, for everything you have done for us. We love you and will miss you forever.

Dr. Frazier was a wonderful man. He spent many years working with individuals in this community helping them and making a difference in their lives. Sporting his familiar black pants, white button down, and paisley tie - he had a smile and a laugh that took over any room. He could handle any situation. Those of us who have worked with him, could count on many things. One would be that you could never read his handwriting, but you knew that familiar "J R Frazier MD" signature. You could count on finding him in the floor with the younger patients - meeting them at their level. Routinely, he would hang out on the units and in different areas of the hospital, more recently giving out diet advice and encouraging others to take up Yoga. You could also always count on another important thing. He would always be working for his patients. No matter what. They were so very important to him. No other physician could match the tireless hours he spent or the vigor with which he worked for his patients.
He was a man who was lager than life. Out in the community even now, people remember humerous and touching things about him - ways that he impacted the lives of those he met. I truly feel that knowing him has made me a better person.

Dr. Frazier was a great doctor and mentor to my five year old niece Amber. He knew exactly what to say to her, and how to get her to laugh on days she didn't feel much like laughing. Everytime he see her, he would give her such a big smile. I am saddend that he is no longer with us because he helped my niece so much, and it will be hard finding a doctor to replace him. My prayers go out to his family.

I knew Dr. Frazier from dance class but I had heard his name several times because of the work he has done with children. The mental health community has lost such a wonderful man. I am going to miss seeing him on the dance floor. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. God Bless.

It is sad that your father only lived to be 72, but he was so amazingly active and full of life that I feel like he managed to do at least 80 or 90 (maybe even a 100) years worth of living during his time here on earth. It pleased him to no end, that my sister and I routinely referred to him as the "energizer bunny." He prided himself in having lots of fun and he loved life. My condolences at his loss and yours.
Sincerely,
September 24, 2008
Dr. Frazier what a wonderful wonderful man. His laughter I will never forget. His love for life and helping people. He really cared. I will miss him so very much.

Dear Frazier Family,
Steve and I have read the many book guest entries, and we have wept at the realization that Dr. Frazier truly edified the lives of so many individuals. There are just some very special angels that continue to inspire - even after we are unable to enjoy their physical presence. The messages have made me see, that I should look for opportunities every day to help others.
What a wonderful, wonderful man !

My husband and I met Dick on the dance floor. We attended many classes together and enjoyed Dick immensely. He was always cheerful and didn't seem to mind when I didn't dance quite as well as some others. We also talked psychiatry a bit as we danced. We will surely miss him. What a wonderful man!! We extend our sincere condolences to his family.
With love,
Betty and Wayne Coleman

I met Dr. Frazier fairly recently while dancing, and although our acquaintance was brief it is impressive how he touched my life. I remember well his description of the amount of groceries his sons consumed while they were growing up and taking pleasure in seeing his love and pride in his family. He was kind enough to share his professional insights when I asked about personality disorder and that conversation has also become part of my permanent memory. As we all go through our lives we never know the value our presence has to others. Thank you for the opportunity to express my pleasure in the short time I knew Dick Frazier.

Dr. Frazier’s passing marks the end of an era in psychiatric care for the Roanoke Valley. That era begin in 1973 when he was one of the “founding doctors” of Roanoke Valley Psychiatric Center in Salem. That was something new and progressive back then, especially for the Valley; what we would now call “cutting edge.” Even more remarkable was the introduction of in-patient care for children and adolescents. Those of us who worked with Dr. Frazier and his adolescent patients in those days came to respect and admire him. He always brought us challenging patients, and we came to learn so much from them through him. During team meetings, a dozen of us sitting on the floor in his office (when there wasn’t room for so many chairs) would hone our skills as mental health counselors and nurses. He wasn’t interested in making a name for himself. His chief concern was for his patients and their families. Personally, my new wife and I rented a house in Glenvar from him. During the Flood of ’85, when we couldn’t get home and the power was out, he loaned us a condo in South Roanoke to shower and change clothes after working triple shifts at the hospital. Many years after RVPC, we would periodically meet Dr. Frazier by chance and pick up as if we had just seen each other the week before. He never knew a stranger, possessed a keen memory, had an attitude of concern and compassion, a positive outlook and an infectious laugh. He could even laugh at himself, even when he was reminded that he was pulling up his socks – again! I remember he – as did most physicians – scribbled unintelligible notes in the patients’ charts, ending his with a larger-than-life “JRF” signature. Perhaps that speaks for itself. Thousands of his patients now lead “larger,” more productive lives than they or their families could have ever imagined. That was Dr. Frazier’s signature; they are his legacies.

To all the Fraziers, we send our deepest sympathy. The whole Connors family has such great memories of North Cross days and all the special times we shared together. I can still vividly remember the first time I met you, Ann, with your van full of boys and a huge Great Dane. You and Dick raised an outstanding family. You are all very special to us, and we want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Jocelyn

Dick Frazier was an inspiration and example of someone who truly enjoyed life. I had the privilege of getting to know him as a part of the yoga community and then as a dance partner at our weekly latin dance classes. Dick was always ready to dance. He often said it was the best form of exercise around. I will miss him but will remember him each time I put on my dancing shoes.

Dr. Frazier you will be truly missed by anyone that was so lucky to have met you. Your body might have worn on you, but I am confident that your spirit is tango dancing somewhere in heaven. I thank you for your insight, inspiration, and compassion. I believe a person is judged by the good that they do for their fellow man on earth. You have positively affected so many lives. I will truly miss you. Thank you!

Dr. Frazier was referred to as my 72 year old best friend. Every day after work he would come into Berglund, and sit on a filing cabinet next to my desk, and we would chat while I answered the phone. I started ballroom dancing at his suggestion. He could get down on the dance floor just as well as me, a teenager! I'll miss our conversations, our Two Steps, and your consistantly yellow ties.
Love, Rosemary

I had the pleasure and the privilege of working with Dr. Frazier at Lewis-Gale Pavilion for several years and was always awed by the amount of energy he possessed and the depth of caring he showed for his patients. His life left many all the better for knowing him; his death will leave a great void. My best to all his family and his patients as they begin to heal from this tremendous loss.

I first met Dick when we worked together at the RVPC when it first opened. He was a patient teacher, a willing mentor, a loyal friend and a terrific doctor. When I married in FL, he and Ann made the journey to be there. Neither would ever know how very much that meant to me. We cut a rug that night; I remember when he first began taking dance lessons. He was smitten immediately. Dick was always so proud of his kids and their achievements, be they academic or athletic - as he had good reason to be. He will be missed. My heart hurts for you all.
With love,

I had the honor of not only knowing Dr. Frazier professionally but as a dance partner as well during many dances at Sapphire. As a counselor, I made many referrals to him and he always had time to talk about cases with me--that doesn't happen very much anymore!! As a dancer, i always sought him out to do the Hustle, a favorite dance of both of ours. He could move on that dance floor!! He taught me new steps patiently. Dr. Frazier was always smiling, having fun, and didn't complain. His death came as a shock to me, I didn't know he was as sick as he was. Dr. Frazier led a colorful, full and important life. He is missed already by many. My condolences to his family, whom he loved so much. Lynne

Dick Frazier, white shirt, black pants, and ready to dance...I was always happy to take a spin around the dance floor with Dick! He especially liked to do the Hustle...and he led it vigorously! He also made me laugh with his own laugh, and funny little comments he'd make...He was strong and kind and full of personality. He seemed to be enjoying life every moment, and was amused by the human race in the nicest sort of way. I never heard Dick complain,and when I think about him I remember his friendly way, and how good it felt to be around him. I miss him already.

It is so hard to believe that Dr. Dick Frazier is gone. He was always such a fighter that I took it for granted that he would be around for a long time. I will miss him for many reasons.
I admired his tenacity, taking life like a bull by the horns. "Fear" just wasn't in his vocabulary. While I'm sure he must have experienced some toward the end of his days, I know he faced it with bravery.
And energy...Wow! He really was the last to leave the dance floor. There wasn't a dance style that he didn't have his sights on learning...if he didn't already know it. As his dance teacher, we worked on Waltz, Cha Cha, Salsa, Tango, West Coast Swing, Hustle, Fox Trot and many more...he loved all types of music. I especially have fond memories of our Rumba routine to "Sway with Me." We nailed it.
He was a great story teller, and fun to listen to. I especially liked it when he talked about his grandchildren (I could see the pride in his eyes.) or his past experiences in the NY/NJ area.
He was also so generous with me. He would take my husband and I out to dinner, and while he had much more to offer in terms of interesting conversation, he was always willing to listen to and give advice to this naive new business owner. He was one of my best marketers of the studio.
Thank you, Dr. Dick Frazier, for the times we've shared: from dances to laughter to serious talks. I know health issues have been many over the years, but I sincerely express my condolences to his family for what feels to me, a pre-mature death. I pray for a grieving process that conjures happy memories, celebrates his life and brings the rest of your family even closer.
Sincerely,
September 9, 2008
Dr. Frazier has cared for many individuals throughout the Roanoke area. He also traveled to Martinsville, Rockbridge County, and Covenington. With him, his patients always came first. He was a dedicated and brilliant man. Many area providers, counselors, etc. trained under him back in the old days at Roanoke Valley Psychiatric Center, of which he was one of the founding psychiatrists. Unselfishly, he gave many contributions to this community. His footprint in this area is huge and he will be greatly missed. I am someone who was fortunate to work with him and learn from him. He was a very wise and talented man. I am not sure that Roanoke is prepared for the impact of his loss. Dr. Frazier is irreplacable and will be remembered for many years to come.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Dr. Frazier when I was eleven years old(of course I didn't think that at that time). I feel like I have lost a great friend and mentor. I can't image what his family is going through. My condolences for all his family and fiends.
Dr. Frazier has told me that I was a passionate individual and it just wasn't my fault. I was genetically predispostion to have so much emotion for someone of my statue. lol. I also had the pleasure of have Mr. David Frazier as a history teacher. At that time in my life, I'm sure I was just a loud student that just couldn't sit still in his class. I want to let Dr. Frazier, Mr. Frazier and their family to know without their guidance in my life along with a few others, I feel like I would not have succeeded in life with more accomplishments to follow as long as I take my medicine (which was drill into my skull by Dr.Frazier) I'm just passionate. No words follow that statement without a small chuckle. Dr. Frazier, I will miss you greatly and I haven't forgot the 5 fatty acid that you taught to me so many years ago. Thank you for your time and patience. With love, Sounthaly

My deepest sympathy to Dr. Frazier's family and friends. Not only was Dr. Frazier a wonderful doctor, he was a kind, compassionate and caring man. Dr. Frazier was my best friend. I will never forget how he took my son under his wing and turned his life around. He molded my son to be the successful young man that he is today...and saved his life. Dr. Frazier and I often shared stories about airplanes and airports...he was so proud of me when I earned my gold wings. In my eyes... Dr. Frazier always had wings of gold.

As a pharmacy tech, I filled Dr. Frazier's prescriptions daily. I therefore had the pleasure of meeting many of his patients, all of whom loved him dearly and credit him with literally saving their lives. Through them I have learned just how entirely well-respected and genuine he was; both as a doctor and as a friend. His legacy will live on through the many lives he touched. And to the Frazier family, please know that my twin brother, Will and I (who have known the Fraziers through our many years at North Cross together) have you all in our thoughts and prayers, as do our mother and father. Your father was a true blessing.

Dr. Frazier has been my security blanket for 15 years. I was a patient of his. He saved my life. He gave me what I could not find on my own, peace of mind. He made me able to do all of the things I dreamed of and made me who I am today. He was a very caring man and I looked up to him and took his advice straight to heart. The last time I visited him in May 2008, he and I talked, joked and laughed about current politics, he also told me that day to stop eating land animals and stick to fish, fruits and vegies if I wanted to live a healthly life and lower my blood pressure. He told me to go to the doctor and get on BP meds immediatly, that mine was way too high. I have done all this, and thank him once again for making my life more relaxing and peaceful.
Dr. Frazier I will Miss You.
Your patient and friend for 15 years.

Dr.Frazier was my doctor when I was a teen.He cared.He truly DID care.That's something hard to find in this world..when others had family to go home and visit on weekends,
he made sure I still had something special to do also,so I didnt feel left out or unwanted.He saw to it I had clothes when the other kids got them from home.He bought,I'm sure now out of his own pocket,my first make-up.He made sure I got to see a real ballet,and he made sure I had Christmas that year too.I hate to hear of his passing.He was a very good man,and an excellent physician,and a true friend.I will never forget him.God rest his soul,and may God comfort you all!

For many years I admired the work and decication to patient care that Dr. Frazier believed in. A true gentleman who always had time talk and share his wealth of knowledge. While I was not a patient of his, I know many who were and the way he touched their lives was an example the ultimate, caring person.

Dr. Frazier was truly one of a kind and I am so thankful to have known him. I used to be one of the pharm reps that called on his practice. His zest for life, concern for others, intellect, humor, along with so many other wonderful qualities, just made him so special to so many. My prayers are with his family...what a tremendous loss to you all. He often talked of his children and grandchildren with such pride. May you find comfort in your memories and knowing the help Dr. Frazier brought to many. I know every time I saw him, I left his company smiling....thinking of him now, I can't help but smile as I cry. He was a remarkable man who will be missed.

It's hard to imagine a world without Dr. Frazier. I learned so much during my years working for him 1981 to 1991 and will miss his wisdom and compassion. Each time I saw him over the years, we always ended up talking about all of you "boys", memories of you growing up, what you were doing, and how very proud he was of each of you. My sincere condolences to all of you and your families.

My deepest sympathies for your loss. Dr. Frazier was so very proud of his family and each of you brought him so much joy. I often referred to him as a grizzly bear on the outside but a teddy bear on the inside. He was truly a remarkable person and I could not have asked for a better boss. I am a better person today for having had the privilege of knowing him and working with him for the past 7+ years and I will cherish the memories we shared. In between his dancing in heaven, I know he is looking down at all of us now and telling us to be happy that he is in a better place.

My deepest condolences and prayers to Doc's family and friends. I didn't know any of you but, Doc I knew for over 34 years. And he was not just my doctor, he was my best friend. Thanks Doc for never giving up on me through the good times and the bad. You will always have a special place in my heart. Love, Penny Lee
