Dr. Thomas H. Fraley Jr.

It has been a month since Dr. Fraley passed away on Aug. 2, 2011. We still think of him and know how difficult it is as his family begins the long process of adjustment and continuing life without him in their physical lives.
Dr. Fraley delivered our daughter on 6/14/1973 -- I had been his patient beginning 1969 through 4/2011. Missy and I were both at his funeral -- a beautiful & uplighting memorial service.
My 88 year old mother continues to keep keepsake & photo albums for all her family members and she has placed Dr. Fraley's obituary/newsp notice/church memorial information in them for us. May He continue to rest in peace. God bless you, his family, his friends and patients who will always remember him.

I came to Dr. Fraley as a patient with a number of problems at the age of 33. He took care of me and with the help of God made me a well woman.I am 68 and now and credit him for my long life. May he rest in God's arms. He will not be forgotten.

My heart is heavy as I have just learned of Dr. Fraley's passing. He took me under his "wing" so to speak in 1967. I have been a patient of his since that time, a lot of water ran under that 'ole bridge. At my last appt. I asked him what he was going to do with so much time on his hands...he said, in quite a very positive tone..."I'm goin fishin' and spend time with my family". He loved us like we were family members. He will be and is missed by so many of us. Bless you Dr. Fraley for your compassion and caring but most of all being someone I considered a friend and confident. You will be so missed.

Wish we lived closer, so that we could have known him better. I met him once in 1983 while traveling from GA to NM for a backpacking trip at Philmont Scout Ranch. He was a very good host and I wish we could have stayed longer.

Thoughts and prayers to the Fraley Family. My son saw the article on the sports page of the OKlahoman yesterday and brought it to me thinking I might know Tom since he was from Hominy. And yes, I knew him well when growing up. He grew up across the street from me in Hominy on Wood street; therefore, I knew his parents and grandparents. Also knew he was a physician in OKC. Last time my husband and I saw him was at Stillwater to a state playoff game of the great Hominy Bucks. He was a few years younger than I, as I graduated from Hominy High School in 1949.My brother and oldest son shared the same birthday, August 5 with Tom. So sorry to hear of his passing.

Dr. Fraley served as physician to two generations of my family. He was the kindest, sweetest, most compassionate man I ever met. He will be greatly missed.

My daughter, Missy (Dean) Cullers and I attended Dr. Fraley's memorial service today. It was touching, uplighting, spiritual, respectful -- and yes, we had some wonderful laughs with the stories that were told. Your daughter, Corby, was very brave and sincere in her words about her precious dad. We are very thankful for having been there with you to celebrate Dr. Fraley's life with you, his family members, friends and patients. We will remember him all the days of our lives. I think he will live on within each of us from now on.
We will be thinking of you in the days, weeks and months to come as you continue on with your lives, as he would want you to do, in his loving memory.
Karen Dean (patient from 1969 til 4/2011) and daughter, Missy Dean Cullers (who Dr. Fraley brought into this world on 6/14/1973. Missy is 38 yrs old now and is expecting her first baby -- fortunately I was able to tell Dr. Fraley this wonderful news in April).

Dr Fraley was the Best, he was my Dr from the 1970's on, always caring & kind. You could ask him anything, he was always ready to help. Thank you Dr Fraley, you have a very nice wife too, it was nice to meet her in you office of my last visit. Did I say you were the Best.? you are & one day we will meet again.

My Thoughts are with you Mary & Family . He will be missed . He could tell a good story and always get you to laugh. He was a people person for sure. I know my Dad was blessed to call him friend. Sincerley, Traci Wolfe (Bethany, Ok.)

My prayers to the dear family of Dr Fraley & his medical staff that loved him so. I to have a special connection with a Dr/Patient relationship. If any one came in contact w/Dr Fraley, there was that connection. He loved people of all walks of life & loved life it self. Alway spoke very highly of Mary & how blessed he was to have her in his life. I came to Dr as only a second opinion in 1977 & that day he became my primary. Dr, you will be missed, my world has a missing piece due to your departure. Love you always.

My prayers to the Fraley family & to his medical staff that all loved him for who he was. I also was a long time patient (1977-2005) & just loved the individual attention he gave to all his patients. The first time I seen Dr. Fraley, I was taken aback by his compassion to my problem. Needless to say after the first visit, he became by primary physician. (only physician). He will be missed, piece of my world is gone. Love you Dr. Fraley.

Dear Mary, G-d Bless you and your family. Tom gave us so many wonderful memories, hunting and fishing or just hanging out. your family has blessed ours so much. I could never thank you and Tom enough. My Life is richer to have known him. Love.

Dr. Fraley will be missed. Such a caring doctor. I pray the Lord will be with you, family, and give you strength to carry on knowing you will all see him again. I know you will miss him dearly. May the Lord bless and keep you. I am so sorry he didin't get to enjoy much of his retirement. You will be in my prayers.

I want to add my condolences to the family of Dr. Fraley. I pray that God will give you an easy heart and feel uplifted that he is in his wonderful, Heavenly place where the Lord has had wating for him and he won't have to suffer through this crazy world we are living in now. I pray God will give all of you peace and rest because our Doc. is in a better place. I ask God to calm your hearts, dry your tears, and give you all peace and rest. You must be a very special family~~~~~~~~ he was a very special man. God Bless

Dr. Fraley was the sweetest caringest doctor I ever Had in my life.I told him at our last visit he needed to get paid to teach some of the newer docs How to have some GOOD BEDSIDE MANORS. Thank you for your always caring about people and taking time to help them. See you in HEAVEN Dr. Fraley. Ellen Alsup

I was so sorry to hear of Dr Fraley's passing. He was my Dr from 1975-2005. He was such a kind, gentle man, a very good dr and always had a good story. Our condolences to Dr Fraley's family. We will miss him very much. God Bless you. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. John and Carolyn Ross (Robinson)

I will miss Dr. Fraley so much! He became my doctor when I was a teenager and I just had my last appointment with him in March of this year at the age of 55. He was a wonderful man of great character and always treated me with care and respect. I'll miss him!

May God Bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Doc was my physician for about 40 years.

My sincere condolences to Dr. Fraley's family. Dr. Fraley was my doctor from 1973 until his retirement this year. He always took the time to listen to what I needed to talk about with him and he NEVER rushed me even when he was behind in his day. My heart is heavy as we have lost a kind, generous and caring friend.

Dr. Fraley will be missed beyond what any words can say. I was a patient of his since l967.May God Bless you and and your family in this time of sorrow.

I pray for comfort with the family at this very difficult time! I went to Dr. Fraley since I was a teen & am now 50. He was a wonderful Dr. who obviously loved helping others! He spoke of his family often while there on visits. He is absolutely missed beyond decription as a Dr. from a patient. He was passionate about being a great Dr. but he was also passionate about his family sharing stories with pride of his wife & family. May God bless your family at this time. He was a good man!!

To Tom III & Cheryl and the Fraley family,

Lois & I send our deepest condolences.

I will always have the fondest memories of "Doc" and how he embraced our pledge class, particularly in the fall of 1982 thru the spring and summer of 1983. Mary and Doc's house was our favorite "hang out" when we weren't in Norman.

Doc was always so upbeat and knew more jokes and funny stories of his days living in the Beta house; which was captivating to us young "Plebians." I'll also remember how Doc never failed to ask me about my parents and older brothers, and how they were doing which meant alot to me.

God Bless and
-kai-

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My heart is heavy in learning today that Dr. Fraley had passed away. I became his patient in 1969, he delivered our baby, "Missy" in 1973 and she became his patient at age 17. I was his patient and told him good-bye in April. I was so excited to see him to tell him that Missy is expecting her first baby but sad that he was retiring. He was a very, very important part of our lives, and we know that you will miss him terribly as your husband, father and grandfather, dr. or friend. God bless him in his heavenly home and God take care of you during this time of incredible loss. Karen & Jimmy Dean

I feel blessed to be one of the many people's lives who Dr. Fraley touched. He was a kind man and will be missed.

Dr. Fraley was my DR for 24 years ,I will miss him. I know he had just retired and I am sorry he did not get to enjoy his retirement. I am sorry for your loss. May God give you peace during this time. He was a great Doctor
