Not sure what to say?

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Frazier family in the loss of their husband and father. We are so glad we got to know Dick after he married our dear friend, Sally Stockwell. We will miss his example of Godliness on earth.

To the Frazier family, we wish to express our deepest sympathy to you about the passing of Pastor Frazier. He was the kindness most loving friend of the church and his members. Growing up in the church he helped our family many times and helped us learn the love God. It was great to later on reunite with him on having his grandson Grant in class at Cedarville Elementary. He loved his family as he loved his church. He is now with his Heavenly Father and many members of his flock. Thanks so...

Prayers and sympathy to the Frazier family. Pastor Frazier left a legacy not only in his family but at Trinity as well. His sermons always evoked a silent, Lutheran amen from me. I always looked forward to his reading of the psalm on Good Friday as the alter was being stripped. You totally believed him. On Christmas Eve, his reading of the Come Back to Bethlehem poem became a source of calming comfort in a hectic season.I was also amazed at his ability to remember my parents' names and...

My sincere condolences to the Frazier family and Trinity English Lutheran Church. It was a privilege to be a member of the staff at TELC while Pastor Frazier was the Shepherd. He was a wonderful person and a great minister. He was there to shepherd his flock and showed his love of the ministry. Sally and family may you find peace and comfort at this time. May all of you draw strength from God and know he is with his heavenly Father. He will be missed. My prayers are with you.

Mrs. Sally Frazier and Family:

Please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of your loved one, The Rev. Dr. Richard G. Frazier.

Sincerely,

Mr. and Mrs. William C. Phillips

Dear Fraziers,

Our family's memories of Pastor Frazier are long. Through my parents and grandparents, I heard wonderful stories about him as the youth pastor. Then I grew up at Trinity gaining inspiration from his sermons and a smile from his little snickers when he inserted something funny. Later, I learned about Trinity's progressive leadership in the community with religious and social matters. My dad enjoyed his service alongside Pastor as business administrator more than I...

To the Frazier Family - Your husband, father and grandfather was a shining example of love for his fellow man and how to raise a great family. He was one of our most supportive audience members and it was always a pleasure to be in his company. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I was received into this Congregation in 1986 by Pastor Frazier. My notable classmates included Pastor Haller and her families. 30 years have passed and I am now on my 3rd Senior Pastor.

I remember Pastor Frazier from my debates with him during the entrance classes. He never argued and my questions were always resolved. He will be missed.
