Alan D. Fraser, Sr.
Alan D. Fraser, Sr., 76, a longtime resident of Springdale, passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, May 7, 2019. Alan was born on January 17, 1943 in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia, Canada, son of the late Watson M. and Alma M. Morris Fraser.
Alan was a proud veteran of the United States Navyhaving served on the LSD Donner in the early 60's and remained involved with the local VFW Post 9617 which included selling "Buddy" Poppies every Spring in front of Dunkin Donuts.

He is survived by his son Doug Fraser of Stamford and a sister Lois Slocum also of Stamford.
Besides his parents, Alan was predeceased by his beloved wife of 34 years Karen J. Fraser, for whom he was a longtime caretaker after having been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, a brother Laurice Fraser and a sister Iris Dowe.
Alan was a kind and unpretentious man who loved, and was loved by his family and many friends in Advocate Harbour Nova Scotia, where he would summer, and in the Springdale area where he lived and sadly left this Earth. He will be greatly missed!
