Bruce Fraser September 18, 1954 - April 14, 2021 To attend Bruce's funeral mass remotely, please activate the link below on Monday, April 19 at 12:30 pm. https://c.themediacdn.com/embed/media/WSsdBB/Gr96yhQsma2/NZltHgsAbfq_5 or https://iframe.dacast.com/b/156599/c/541147 Bruce Fraser, 66 and a long time Littleton resident joined Our Creator and many of his loving family members that passed before him on April 13, 2021. We prayed that he would be greeted in heaven by his beloved moms, Mary Sennott Fraser and Shirley Warner Fraser, and believe he was. Bruce was born in Arlington, MA on September 18, 1954 and left us far too young, but not without living a very full life. As a carpenter for 40 years his unique artistic style always shined through, especially on his own home in Littleton. Bruce often thanked his wife of 30 years, Mary Coppinger-Fraser for always being by his side as they biked, cross country skied, played tennis, attended concerts and traveled together. Bruce's sons Rory and Gannon provided Bruce with so much love and care and also an immense amount of pride. Rory and Gannon, both of Littleton, each shared Bruce's passions in life. Rory's Littleton Tiger football games were a highlight in Bruce's life. Rory and Bruce enjoyed talking about sports and history often. Gannon shared Bruce's love of music and they had many conversations about music, especially focusing on Bruce's favorite band the Grateful Dead. Gannon introduced his Dad to the rock band Phish; oh how Bruce enjoyed their music! Bruce was so happy to see Gannon find love with Rena Frank and was happy she could be with him near the end. Bruce was very comforted by being able to spend much time with his brother William (Billy) Fraser of Lake Worth, FL these last years and especially these last few weeks. In addition to his wife, children and brother, Bruce also leaves behind his father, William K. Fraser of Arlington, MA, his sisters-in-law Judy Fraser, wife of Billy and Anna Rice of Manchester, NH and several other in-laws. Bruce also leaves his beloved aunts and an uncle, many nieces, nephews and cousins and so many friends that adored him, especially his best friend Joe Marino of North Andover. A period of visitation will take place at Bruce and Mary's home, 7 Berry Bush Rd., Littleton, MA on Sunday April 18, 2021 from 12:00 pm until 6:00 pm. His Funeral Mass will be celebrated in Holy Family Parish, Monument Sq., Concord, MA at 12:30 pm on Monday April 19, 2021. Interment will follow in Westlawn Cemetery, New Estate Rd., Littleton. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, attendance in the church is limited to invitation only. Please be mindful of social distancing perimeters during both the visitation and church services. In lieu of arranged floral bouquets, kindly bring or send your favorite annual flower so that the family may plant them in their gardens and enjoy your love and friendship all year long. Arrangements under the care of Badger Funeral Home, 347 King St., Littleton MA, 01460 978-486-3709 www.badgerfuneral.com

Mary, Rory and Gannon we are just finding about your loss and extend our sympathies. Although I didn't know him very well at the time I attended Arlington High with Bruce back in the 1970's. Then we crossed paths again again in Littleton especially on the football field. I'll always remember Bruce as a "salt of the earth" type of person. Sorry we haven't kept in contact. Mary if you read this yes that was myself and Susan
you passed on the Rail Trail in Acton on 7/29/21.

I just found about Bruce's passing today. I have so many fond memories of Bruce during our kid's years thru Littleton and football. Too many to even describe. He was so fun and energetic, every football game, his presence was heard. Over the years since our kids graduated from high school, we've run into each other a few times. He was the best..and I'm sorry we didn't keep in better contact. To Mary..you were his rock. Rory and Gannon..you had the best father

My heart is filled with memories of Bruce who had that same wonderful twinkle in his eye when he was two. His sincerity, his humility, his warmth and his great love of his family are a lesson in life for all of us who were lucky to know him. He carried himself with such grace after his diagnosis - always grateful to have his beloved by his side. Mary,Rory and Gannon - you were the very best of caregivers and love givers , and so will have no regrets. Go in peace dear Bruce. Yours was a life well lived. Aunt Carina
