Peter Fraser Obituary
Peter Welsh Fraser died in his home in Vieques, Puerto Rico on Sept. 15, 2019. Peter was born on December 15, 1957 in Greenwich, CT and lived there for a good portion of his life. He moved to Vieques in 2015 and fell in love with the island and its people. During his time in Vieques, he owned and operated Petie's New York Deli, survived Hurricane Maria, cleaned swimming pools and spent his time with his friends and his beloved dog, Missy. His refreshing, upbeat, friendly, kind, generous personality made him a beloved resident on Vieques and a good friend to all who knew him. Before settling in Vieques, Peter lived and spent time in Greenwich, CT, Vermont, Rhode Island, Arizona, and Florida. Peter is survived by his brother Power, sister-in-law Liz, nephews Daniel, Sam, Zac, niece Brynn and many cousins in New England and California. He was predeceased by mother Arleen, father Power and sister Jamie. Friends and family may visit at Leo P. Gallagher & Son Funeral Home, 31 Arch Street, Greenwich, CT on Sunday October 27 from 5-8 p.m. A Memorial Celebration for Peter will be held on Monday Oct. 28 at 9:30 a.m. at the Funeral Home followed by a burial at Putnam Cemetery, 35 Parsonage Rd., Greenwich, CT. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Vieques Island Animal Sanctuary, Inc. (https://viequesanimalsanctuary.org) or the Vieques Humane Society (https://viequeshumanesociety.org).

Peter was a force of life -- fun and enthusiastic --always up for a new adventure. He always had a laugh and a smile to share -- a sweet gentle man. Earth's Cry, Heaven's Smile.

Power and Family - I can't believe this. I was always fond of Pete - I still remember that day in that Old Greenwich gym when he went through the glass, and the time we spent at the hospital waiting for him to come out of surgery. He was such a good guy and a true basketball talent. My prayers are with you all in this sad time. Pete was a free spirit whose time came far too soon.

Dear Liz and Power:
I was so shocked to read of Peter's death in the Greenwich Time. I have many happy memories of him back in his Brunswick days. He played soccer with my Peter.
I send you good thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of Peter. He was a good soul, I'll always remember he picked out a cool pair of pajamas for my oldest son when he was first born. God bless his family during this difficult time.
