THOMAS FRAGA

I grew up next to the Fraga's. I am very sad to hear of his passing. I have fond memories of playing basketball in their backyard. Rest in Peace Tommy.

You were among the finest Latin Jazz trumpeters with whom I ever performed and recorded.Your performance with Spice of life on that hot June night at El Paso Coliseum was nothing short of phenomenal.The recordings we made live on! God bless you Tommy.

I am very saddened to learn of Tommy's passing. My condolences go out to his family, and especially his son!

I was shocked and saddened by Tommy's death. He hung around with my brothers in high school. He was a nice guy. Rest in peace Tommy.

It was so much fun performing with you and I am saddened by your passing, but I am sure you will be one of the trumpeters at heaven's gates adding you own jazzing finesse accompanying those angelic choirs!

I'll never forget you and your amazing talent, TOMMY. I remember your unforgettable STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT solo in your freshman year....YSLETA HIGH SCHOOL. RIP....

My heart is heavy but I am comforted that you will be in the Heavenly Band playing your trumpet. A wonderful person that will be dearly missed.

Tommy, thanks for your excellent trumpet teaching during my high school years as I advanced to universities on scholarships and continued with music. You will be missed and I will always remember your welcoming spirit into your house during our trumpet lessons.

Your spirit lives,

Raul Zamora
