I'm sorry I heard about his passing late. Paul "Grampa" Fraser went to high school at KHS with my older sister, Nora, went to parties at my house when I was a kid, and was the trainer for varsity football when I played there. He had to patch or wrap me up as a lineman multiple times. He was a mentor/older brother figure to many. A life well lived.

I was the team manager for girls field hockey and Gramps would always keep us laughing and on our toes.

I first met Gramps when I was at KHS and thru Young Life. We stayed in touch for several years after until I moved. He was an incredibly caring and "old soul" who always had a good word for you. He was a great listener and always had such wonderful insight. I have incredible memories of his smile and his laugh. He brought joy to so many....my heartfelt condolences to all of his family and friends. He truly made a difference.

Gramps was always there when we needed him, and had a supportive word along with every ankle wrap and Young Life meeting. He offered character challenge and grace at the same time, and was one of the positive influences in my youth. I´m grateful to have had him on my life at a time when it mattered to me, and extend condolences to all he´s left behind.

I remember Paul from Young Life. He was a sweet guy who you knew really cared about you.
