Richard Fraser Obituary

Published by Vancouver Sun and/or The Province from Sep. 9 to Sep. 10, 2014.
Richard (Dick) Fraser January 1929 - August 2014 Richard passed peacefully following a long battle with lymphoma and heart disease. He is lovingly missed by his wife Doreen, daughter Margot, son Bruce, daughter-in-law Cecilia, and sister-in-law Lil. Dick had a quiet sense of humour, a love (and hate) for bridge & a passion for collecting "found objects" when walking his dog in the neighbourhood. He enjoyed engaging in discussions with almost anyone—friends, family, caregivers and strangers alike. Memorial service on Saturday, September 20th, 3:00pm at Dunbar Heights United Church in Vancouver. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or Heart & Stroke Foundation.

We have seen Dick walking in the lane for decades, and fondly gave him the nickname "The Can Man", long before we ever started speaking to him. We will really miss seeing him and Banjo and having a little chat to catch up. We are so very sorry, the neighborhood won't be the same without him.
