Tim, it is Dale & Deb in Christmas season 2024. We sure wish we could be with you in person for the Holidays but we are there in spirit and we know you are in a beautiful and wonderful place. We have had a tough year and 2025 looks ominous so if you can emanate some good help our way we would be grateful. We are hanging in there OK. God bless you and all your family members there with you. Love D&D

I remember about this same time of year in the late 1950's in a critical Little League Baseball game in Hawthorne, California Tim was catching me and before the first pitch he came out to the mound smiling and said to me "Let's try a new idea today and not bean anyone". It cracked me up big time and relieved the tension a lot and I went on to pitch a shutout and we won the league championship and Tim hit the winning home run. A great memory!

Hey Tim,

I had a dream the other night about us having a nice dinner and just talking together. What a great dream it was! I'm trying hard to get in top shape dedicated to your memory and I'm getting real close. Deb, Derek, and I still talk about you and all the good times we always had. Best wishes from us all and eternal blessings to you in glory with the Lord my true friend.

Tim your old friend since grade school still thinks of you often and misses you so much. A friendship like we had is very rare and I always valued it greatly. God Bless!

What a great gentleman. We first knew Tim in Incline and followed his practice to Reno when he moved there. It was a shock when I googled his name to see if he was still practicing. He was taken at a young age. So Sorry!

Judee Rogers

March 12, 2010

I just got the news!!! Yes all these months later! Tim was the most unique person I have ever met! He has/had a classic that we talked about during my appointments, also our interests in Homeopathy. I will miss him and his skill! RIP

When I was 12 a crusty old dentist yelled at me and made me afraid of dentist. I moved to Reno in 1996 and had a mouth full of work to be done, my wife told me her dentist was awesome. I made an appt and worked up the nerve to get there. I told Tim and his staff of my previous expierences, Tim sat down and talked to me for 15 minutes before he looked in my mouth. I never had to fear "the dentist" ever again because I now had a friend and fellow pit bull lover. Tim will be missed by all he touched.

I guess god needed the best dentist ever.......rest well my friend.

October 24, 2009

So often I think of Tim. It always brings up the question, "Why are we here?", "What is our purpose?"

To have seen him taken so early when he was making such a difference, makes me wonder about the whole picture.

I miss him.

Today, 10/22/2009 My wife Brigitte and myself James Vincent just heard about Tim's passing. We cannot express the sadness we feel from this loss. We have not lived in the Reno area for many years and in our travels lost touch. Never the less, his exceeding warmth and friendship was extraordinary. I spent many a night as a guest in Tim's home and never felt anything but gracious hospitality. Rarely does someone touch you deep inside like Tim could. His hardy laughter mixed with great interest in things spiritual, made him special beyond words. I would love to hear from His wife Jill or his former wife Polly whom i used to play music with if possible. We will sorely miss him.

I met Dr. Fraser when I bought his Riverside Terrace condo and he bought my Idlewild II condo in 2005. He was a very kind and gentle person and I was swept away by his home where I still reside. There was a special cherub that he had aquired from a church in Europe that hung on the wall. He offered to let it stay with the home. Although I declined to keep it, I reflect on the memory of the cherub and Dr. Fraser as being one in the same - very special.

I send my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Dr. Bob Eslinger

June 26, 2009

Words cannot describe how sad it is to humanity (and me) for such a loss as Tim. I have been in practice for 31 years and I never met a dentist that I could have a conversation with about as broad a range of topics as Homeopathy to horses to Wilhelm Reich and Orgone. He will not only be missed as a friend but sorely missed by my teeth! Goodby Tim...until we meet again!

Rick & Judi Johnson

June 18, 2009

We are long-time patients going back to Tim’s Incline Village practice and were elated when Tim opened his practice in Reno. Our appointments were always a pleasure – retro office décor, enjoyable staff and of course the unforgettable dentist himself, always in his trademark Hawaiian shirts, with a relaxed demeanor and a smile to brighten your day – a bonus was hearing one of his infamous jokes. Being the consummate dentist Tim always took special care of his patients and one of the numerous selfless, charitable acts Tim did for his patients are like this:

Rick being a fire fighter meant multiple hours at a time on-duty and one night his bridge came loose and fell out. Communicating with the public was a necessity and could be crucial at times so after a phone call late one Saturday night Tim was the one coming to the rescue. Even though Tim was leaving town the next morning he postponed his departure and met Rick early Sunday morning and did what was necessary to put Rick back in action – and on top of that, at no charge.

Every time we see a Hawaiian shirt we will think fondly of Tim’s charm, compassion and dignity. His kind, gentle soul will be with us forever as Tim was in a class all his own. Our condolences go out to Tim’s family, abundant friends, staff and colleagues. Our world has lost an extraordinary humanitarian and friend.

Our family has been cared for by Dr. Fraser since 1999. Finding a dentist can be hard. Finding a good dentist, difficult. Finding a great dentist that we all absolutely loved and actually looked forward to visiting – impossible - yet that is exactly what we found in Dr. Fraser! What a gentle giant~ We never remember a time while sitting in the waiting room that he didn’t come out between patients just to say hi and chat for a minute. He always made us feel like we were important to him and more than just patients. We know we can’t ease your pain, as only God can do that, but we did want to say how deeply we feel for you in your grief. “Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them. They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” Revelation 7:15-17

Tim had a gentle spirit about him and a compassionate, caring nature. Always ready to assist someone in need. Qualities that are hard to find these days! You will be missed Tim. Rest well dear one.

Tim was the most generous, kind, caring man and we will miss him dearly. Words can't describe the heart he had. He defintaley wore his heart on his sleeve and has touched so many lives in so many ways. Tim we will miss you and we love you.

June 6, 2009

We'll miss you, Tim. Days after the very touching service I begin to write. We are still in shock about your death...it seems like yesterday when you and Jeremy rode the donkey in the great Downieville Donkey Race. Always up for an adventure, you were smiling while you were pulling the donkey all the way around town. We'll never forget you, they broke the mold when they made you. You have left your mark but you have left us way too soon. Happy trails, amigo. Via con Dios.

Jule Brodie

June 5, 2009

Tim, God Bless your heart.............the last thing you ever said to me at your office as you always did so many others, "there will be no charge for that". This, as well as so many other caring, loving, kind and gentle qualities was your essence. What a blessing and priviledge to have been so closely associated with you personally and professionally for the last 25 years. I'm so thankful.
You fought the good fight, you kept the faith and now you've been promoted to heaven. We'll see you there.

Val Waddell

June 5, 2009

Dear Mrs. Fraser and family,
I just can't imagine Tim being gone. As soon as he reopened in Reno, I was once again able to have the best dentist in the universe.
Always a pleasure to be in his chair, he was one of the most loving and kind and gentle people I ever knew and since I've had to spend about a third of my life in the dentist chair, he was a god-send to me.
We also shared a deep love of Downieville. My father had a sawmill there some 50 years ago and I camp up there and hike the Sierra Buttes on a regular basis.
I know he is there now- hanging out on the river and enjoying himself and not attached to this earthly plain.
God Bless Tim and all of you.
Sincerely, Valentina A. Waddell

I have a cute story about Tim. Jill mentioned at the memorial service that Tim was a crooner and he did have a beautiful, rich singing voice. He could have been a professional singer if he had chosen to do so. He was also able to belt out the wildest Elvis rock songs complete with shaking leg, rotating hips, swinging arm and the famous Elvis "lip". He would often end these tunes by diving to one knee, head bowed and outstretched arm, Elvis style. He really had it down. Years ago my band leader, Kris Diehl, hired Tim to perform some Elvis tunes at a class reunion dance at Harrah's where Elvis songs were requested. Tim put on quite a show and did a great job. At the end of the night, like the rest of us in the band, Tim received a paycheck with "Kris Diehl Orchestras" printed across the top of the check. Unlike the rest of us, Tim did not cash his check. He would flash that check to friends and patients and seriously announce, "Actually, I am a professional singer. I just practice dentistry on the side." Then he would let loose with that amazing, booming laugh. Kris came to the memorial service and we remembered fondly that night when Elvis WAS in the building.

Our children, Mikki and Beau, and I will miss him more than words can say. I have it on good authority that Tim plans to sing with Elvis, and I'm sure he will. Rest in peace.

Rod & Chris Payne

June 4, 2009

Dear Jill, Mikki, family & friends, He was always "Timmy" to us, ever since the late 70's in Incline. A lot of shared memories. He & Rod would talk about many things, most recently the nasty stock market, with me, he would ask about my dad, Lauren or the horses & the ranch, & with Lauren, he would always encourage her with school. Above everything, though, he always mentioned his family, & we would talk about Mikki in Japan (good going, girl!). Last summer he mentioned he would come down & ride through the hills with us..we'll have to dedicate a ride to him. How fortunate we all are to have shared a time or two with him! Our condolences to all.

To my great friend Tim,
You have have been such a a blessing in my life. Thank you for your friendship, love and caring. Truly you blessed me and I will miss you beyond words. You fought a great fight. May you have peace, joy and happiness in your new home. Until we meet again, I still want my dance.
With all my Love, Lena

Best friends we were. Had lunch together so many times and we dove deep into the psyche discussing Jung and others. Our discussions were so special that I can say I have not had them that deep with others. Thanks for going to PGI even though it didn't move your dentistry career along. You were better for it. Also thanks for our Jung discussion group which helped all 4 of us grow in a deeply special way. I love you brother and will think of you oftem.

Tim, Tim, Tim! Our sojourn to Old Mexico together was a great joy. It saddens me that we will never again sit together in the plaza of Guanajuato or stroll the market of San Miguel de Allende or bargain with the "chicken lady." The picture of the young boxer at the memorial service reminded me of my failure. I always meant to prepare a sign for your office that read: "Extractions - in the chair or in the alley - your choice." So one last time: "Call out the members of the Old Brigade" I'll be missing you Timothy Lad.

Beau Melia

June 3, 2009

I am a better human being for knowing this man! Tim treated me as I was his own son, and I was proud to be a son to him.

One of the things that greatly impressed me was his unstoppable creativity. The man's mind never quit. When a term paper or science project would arise, he always had an idea, and not just a good idea but an extravagant one. Believe me... my senior year term paper is still being talked about to this day and I'm 35! Tim was one of the most intelligent people I've ever met, and its because of this he was able to share his infinite wisdom with me and make sense out of my life when I couldn't. When you're an adolescent this is most important. I'll never forget that.

I was able to spend some time with Tim not too long ago, and I will forever be thankful for that short but precious time. The best gift Tim could ever receive is peace of mind. I know he has it now. Rest easy my friend.

I was fortunate to have worked with Tim for a few years in the late 80's in his practice in Incline. At that time I was fairly new to the dental field and Tim was a wonderful teacher and mentor. He was a truly talented man who taught me so much about dentistry, but what I admired the most was his zest for life, his warm smile, and his genuine kindness, compassion, and caring for everyone he encountered. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Lindell Eslinger

June 3, 2009

After attending the Memorial service yesterday, I was struck with the thought that I wish I could have had a parade in honor of how Tim touched so many people's hearts. I knew Tim briefly, but in that time, we spoke as if we were the tightest of friends. No small talk for Tim. We got down to the deepest of feelings and issues from the get go. I am sure his gals in the office were used to this delay in schedule due to his animated conversations with patients. He once told me that to take the smallest of effort to show you care, means the world to a patient. He put "Small acts of kindness" in to action. The ripple effect, of such an act, will continue on. That bit of inspiration he shared with me will be my way of passing his legacy on. His light was so bright that it will still reach us from where he's at now. We will all see him again some day. Till then, we allow his spirit to join us and inspire us. My heart goes out to his family and closest of friends. The void he left is a testiment to how beautiful and awesome he was.

Tim became our family dentist about a decade ago and we consider ourselves extremely blessed to have had him love us with the best dental care and compassion he could offer. He was truly glad to see us and to know us not only as his patients, but also as his beloved friends. Personally, I believe that God used Tim to heal my wounded soul over the years with the balm of unconditional love. Our deepest condolences to his devoted staff and family.
God love your soul Tim.. we will miss you.

To Tim's family, I send my thoughts and prayers and my gratitude for knowing Tim as a friend and colleague. We studied homeopathy together and I learned so much from him. He was a kind, caring and gentle man who also brought tremendous power to all that he did. It enriched my life to know him and I can only imagine the loss for those for whom he was so much a part of daily life. It was always clear that he loved his family, his work and his life and that's a great gift.

All the best,

Mikki Fraser

June 2, 2009

I just returned home from the memorial service at St. Thomas Cathedral with a lot on my mind. It was amazing to me how many people came to mourn my fathers passing, and so comforting to see so many familiar faces.
The comment I received most often from the people gathered there was how lucky I was to have had Tim as my father.
I was fortunate enough to have a chance to talk to him before he passed, and to let him know how much I loved him and how blessed I felt to have had him as my father and role-model. And I didn't only have him as a father, but as a friend, who always encouraged me to follow my bliss and to be myself. One of the last things he ever said to me was "Never stop being a rebel".
I was lucky enough to have been blessed from the time I was born with his wisdom, kindness and zany sense of humor (which I am proud to have inherited!)
It was thanks to his guidance and love that I've grown into the person I am, and I only pray that I continue to make him proud so that he knows how much he meant to me.
It's through the lives of the people he touched that his legacy will live on, and by his example that we can hope to learn how to be as kind and compassionate a person he was.

My brother Beau shared a joke with me that really sums up the impact he made on so many people with his radient personality:

"If Tim ever got the chance to go to the Vatican and meet the Pope, when they were standing at the altar together there would be at least one person in that audience saying, 'I don't know who that guy in the funny hat is, but that's Tim Fraser up there! He's my dentist!'"

I love you so much dad, and I know how lucky I was to have you as my father. You were one of my best friends and I'll miss you terribly until next we meet again.
-Mikki

Tim,
My dear friend you are greatly missed, yet still celebrated by so many. I know you would not like this, but you have touched so many lives. I am so blessed to have been lead to you 12 years ago. You took me in so young and taught me the ways of dentistry and life. You helped me become the woman I am today along with 3 beautiful women that still stand by you. Your spirit is with me always. I have been so blessed and honored to have you in my life for as long as I have. You truly are the gentle giant always with the biggest heart and mind out there and the best laugh to boot! Love you my dear friend rest in peace. My prayers go out to the Fraser family, and the Fraser dental family as well.

Steven Gant

I remember consoling Tim during the time his father lay dieing while we were in high school. I never thought that he too might die so young. I also remember him knocking me out when we sparred in his boxing ring built on the family tennis court. He felt bad and apologized over and over. That was Tim. He was a great kid and I still feel close to him today. We shared a lot in those fun and formative years. To his wife and children: know that you will see him again.

Karen and I were so distressed to hear of your passing... your kind and generous spirit made you a unique and wonderful person. We will miss you and your contageous laughter.

To my friend Tim:
The way Liberace was always far more than a pianist, to me you have always been far more than a dentist. I will miss you and I will never forget you.

We mourn Tim's passing as I know his family and staff do. He will be greatly missed. One of the most intelligent and caring men I have known. I loved our political and philosophical discussions, and I am happy to say that I also got to enjoy his Elvis impersonations in the early days of the Follies at the Chateau at Incline Village. Rest in peace my dear friend.

Andy Daniels

June 1, 2009

I thought it was very appropriate that Tim put "Dental Arts" on his new sign. Unlike most Dentist's Tim looked at his patient's as an artist would a canvas. His skill and dedication will be sorely missed as will the love that he gave to everyone he touched.

Ron Maehl

June 1, 2009

I was told about and met Tim Fraser when I asked someone "Who is the best holistic dentist in the area?" over 8 years ago. I didn't just meet a dentist. I met a gentle-hearted genius and giant of a man. Tim quickly entered my heart and, like countless others who share this story, he will never leave it. Thank you Tim. You have touched the world...and we are better for it. Godspeed to you, your family and office mavericks!

I was so sad to read about Tim's passing in the RGJ. It has been years since I have seen Tim but I still have great memories of him. I'll never forget being in the Incline Follies with him when he was "Elvis". He was so alive on stage! I was one of his screaming fans. He will live on in the hearts of all of us who were so fortunate to have known him. - My thoughts go out to his family during this most difficult time of grief and sorrow.

Robin Day

June 1, 2009

Whilst not knowing the gentleman personally, i am reliably informed he was a man much respected professionally, a person, true and valued by his friends and a source of love and care by his family. I am sure he will be sorely missed by all. R.I.P.

Diana Hiibel

June 1, 2009

In addition to his excellence in the dental field, Tim was an example of excellence in compassion, caring and good humor. To say that he will be missed is an understatement, as our community has lost a very special individual. Thank you Tim for all you have done for so many others, myself included. My prayers are with your family and staff.

Nan Adams

I had the incredible pleasure of meeting and getting to know Dr. Fraser through our dental careers. Dr. Fraser and his dental team, Melody and Tammy, always exhibited the highest level of care for their patients. I am fortunate to have known Dr. Fraser. My prayers go the loved ones of Dr. Fraser. Melody and Tammy, you are in my prayers.

Sandra Haupt

Tim was our dentist since I was eight. We called him "Foxy Fraser" and always looked forward to going to the dentist. He will be truly missed. God Bless.

Joe Labuda

May 31, 2009

I knew Tim since the days of his practice in Incline. Up until a year ago I would sell him some of his office supplies that they used. Even if he was with a patient he would look over to me and ask how the Cubs were doing....even in winter!! I loved his great laugh and was very sad to learn of his passing. My prayers are with you.

Lisa Nay

May 31, 2009

Tim, you blessed so many of us in this community with your smile, humor, and sweet, gentle compassion. I will miss your smile and your kind voice. Rest well my friend.

We will miss him sooo much for his professional work, for his love of the Three Stooges comedies, and for his encouraging conversation. We needed him so much down here, but we guess that he was ready for the Kingdom of God! You are missed and in our thoughts too!

Tim had such a calming way about him. I will never forget him being there for me at a time that no other dentist could/would see me since it was a holiday - he helped me and calmed my extreame phobia of dentist. Beyond knowing him as a dentist I knew of a very loving caring human who had the upmost compassion for all those around him. He loved fully.

..as a fellow dentist i never stoped being amazed how many people from incline liked being tim's patient and i admired him immensely although i never was able to meet him....

Ilse Platt

May 29, 2009

My family moved from Germany to Incline Village in the summer of 1977 and Tim became our dentist from that time on.He was a friend to my husband, children and myself from day one.I cannot believe he is gone. I see him in one of his Hawaiian shirts grinning at me. It is so very sad that he had to leave this world at such a young age. I guess the Lord above needed a good dentist.
To his family go my deepest sympathies!

Ted Ferrato

May 29, 2009

Tim was my dentist in Incline in 1974 to 1976 I graduated from Incline High in 76 and havent seen him since, however one thing I do remember was his laugh. I wish I had seen him in Reno.

Caren Morris

Every person he touched will forever be changed because of how time molded and sharpened him.

Celebrate all that he gave us, and trust that we will become the incredible beings he knew each of us held within.

Oh yes, we will all miss this man, and we will morn not hearing his laugh, witt, and knowing.

I loved this man, as we all loved him. He saved us in so many ways while he was with us. The JOY for me at this moment is that I was lead to him and danced with him, and will be waiting to see him again someday. ~ ~ ~ ~

Tim was one of my dearest friends. I have worked for him for 13 years. He was never just my boss.We had our dental family. We loved each other and our patients. Tim touched the heart of everyone he has met. He was the most compassionate and loving person I have ever met. Iam a better person for having known him. I feel the best way to Honor his memory is to strive to be more like him. This is our opportunity to PAY IT FORWORD. Each one of us who loved him so much ......All we need to do is love ALL people and do our best to make this world a better place.

Tim was a beautiful caring person who touched the lives of many people. Tim was our dentist while we resided in Incline Village during the 80's. Tim was also a high school friend at Hawthorne High school in southern California in the 60's. Tim's father Wally was also a dentist and a bruiser of a boxer, who was my dentist as I was growing up as a kid in Hawthorne. Like father-like son. Our prayers and condolences are with Tim's family and friends during these sad times. He will be missed by many and we will miss his one-of-a-kind laugh. God Bless my brother and I will see you again.

I thank Tim and his staff for the years that I had to work with the office. The new office is a great piece of art, where Tim will be missed.
My prayers go out to Tim's family and friends.

I am feeling the loss of a wonderful person and great dentist. Tim was as much a seeker and giver of wisdom as he was a dentist. I am privileged to have known him and look forward to seeing him again on the other side. My thoughts are with his family.

What sad news that the world has lost Dr.Tim, who had the best laugh I ever heard. He for sure had a healer's heart and soul and was just a magnificent human being. And he was the best dentist! My prayers go out in behalf of his family, who must also be wonderful; and his professional family, who I know are bereft. May God bless and comfort each of you.
One thing I know--that life force of a laugh is echoing in a better place and lifting other hearts even as we
grieve it's loss.

We first met Tim over 25 years ago in Incline Village. He was more than just a dentist - he was an intuitive, caring friend. We are saddened by his death. Our prayers are with his family. He will be missed by so many.

Tim was my dentist and friend at Incline. I moved back to Calif the winter of 81-82, and lost touch. I just found Tim again recently, and feel blessed that I had the opportunity to have seen him again. He had a way of making everyone feel special. Tim was a very special human being. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Tim was always a friend to our family. His professional care was greatly appreciated, as was his kindness, intelligence and keen wisdom. A great void has been introduced into the lives of those who knew him. Tim lived his life well. We will miss him greatly. Our deepest condolences to his family.

The obituary captured some of the brilliance of a man who truly was larger than life in his goodness, his kindness, and his intelligence. He was a maverick and a crusader and we will truly, truly miss him.
Our heartfelt emotions to all of you. May you find comfort in each other and faith to ease your sadness.

Tim was our dentist and a friend. I knew him in the Incline Village days and was glad when he reopened in Reno. Our family is deeply saddened by the loss of this good man and we send our condolences to his family.
