Douglas A. Fraser

My son and I are sadden by the belated news of the passing of Doug. Occasions {1997-2003} my late wife, Alma Harrington Young, and I had to interact with Doug were instructive, stimulative and spiritedly uplifting. My son and I sympathize with the family of Douglas A. Fraser {a.k.a. Doug}.

I have been a member of Local 662, Anderson, IN., for 40 yrs as an active and 4yrs as a Retiree. I had the pleasure of meeting Doug 4 times. Sep 1978, he was guess speaker at our U.W. kick off. Three other times since, as others had said, he always extended his hand with a smile. Would always talk with you and was happy to join in a photo. He was a great Union leader. Solidarity did a fine job in the Memorial issue, I will treasure it forever.

What a leader he was, and just at the time we needed him the most. God Bless him and his family.

When feelings of grief come upon you, please remember that GOD is a GOD of saving acts and to HIM belong the ways out of death. Psalms 68:20

A great leader.

My name is Joanne, and I wanted to sincerely express my sympathy to your family about your loss, and offer some comfort if I may. At Revelation chapter twenty one verses three and four, offers a hope that God has given mankind. I hope this will bring some comfort. Until your family member is awaken from rest, may the God of all comfort be with your family at this time.

With Concern,
Ms. Knoble

My heartfelt sympathy to the Fraser family in the loss of Douglas.

Surely a great lost to society and the labor movement. A trailblazer and a great leader we will truly miss.

THE WORLD HAS LOST A TRUE FRIEND. DOUG HELPED MILLIONS, NOT ONLY THE WORKER, BUT THEIR FAMILIES. HE WAS A GIANT TO ALL MAN KIND, HE WILL BE MISSED, MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY AND CONDOLENCES.

Doug, so much of what we have we owe to you.
My heartfelt thanks,
Bill (Local 699 retired)

I retired from GM back in 2006 and I wish he was still president of the UAW so we miss him at Local 730 here in Grand Rapids.
