He was predeceased by his wife of 35 years, Ina, in 1981 for whom he had a lifetime of enduring love. He will be sadly missed by his four loving daughters and their spouses: Dianne and Kenn Rosin, Heather and Doug Argue, Cathy and Michael Stambrook and Jan and Brett Habington. He is also survived by his grandchildren Jason (Hailey), Erin (Matthew) and Scott (Ashley), Chris (Amanda), Ryan, Kyle, Krista, Megan, Kevin, Maureen and Rourke and great-grandchildren Grady, Sam and Piper. His parents John and Hannah and brothers Iain and Robert also predeceased him. Alex was born and grew up in Winnipeg and spent his working career at the CNR until his retirement in 1976. As a young boy, his summers were spent at Canyon Lake in Northwestern Ontario, where he enjoyed spending time with his family, and this tradition continued into his retirement years. At Dad's request there will be no funeral. A private family burial will take place at a later date.

So very sorry to hear of your Dad's passing, I spent so much of our childhood years, wishing that I was the 5th Fraser sister and spent much time in their home hanging out with Janet (Jef). Mr and Mrs. Fraser had such a wonderful, quiet and gentle way about them, Your Mom and Dad are finally together at last, and you have such wonderful memories to hold close to your hearts. Thinking of you all. xo - Posted by: Monica Lepp Pike (Neighbour and childhood friend of Janet) on: Feb 19, 2013

Got to know the Fraser family when we moved to Gerrond Bay back in 1965 when I was only 4 years of age. Became friends with Jan(et) as we were about the same age. I remember my father buying his first car from Mr. Fraser, a 1959 Dodge Monaco stationwagon. Even remember the older girls babysitting me and my brother and sisters. I remember Mr. Fraser as a father who was very fond of and proud of his family. After his retirement I remember him having a part-time job with Beaver Lumber. My deepest sympathies and prayers go out to Dianne, Heather, Cathy, and my dear Janet. Your mom and dad are once again together. Peace be with you all. - Posted by: Bill Mark Jr. (Old neighbour of the family.) on: Feb 17, 2013
