VERNON FRASER
July 19, 2004
VERNON (VERN) JOHN FRASER It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Vern, beloved husband and best friend of Lorna (Lori). Dad was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in 1994 and peacefully succumbed to the disease on Friday, July 16, 2004 at the Grace General Hospital with his family and close friend at his side. As well as his loving wife Lori, Vern leaves to cherish his memory his daughter Gail McGregor (Craig); son Kent and grandchildren, Jessica and Ryan McGregor; three brothers, Ross (Ernestine), Ken (Dorothy) and Ron (Donna); Aunt Toni Fraser; his extended family, Melissa and Ed Hernbald; Elaine and John Strauss; Dale and Muriel Wellar; aunts, Vi Whitehead and Pearl Jefferson as well as numerous other caring aunts, nieces and nephews. Dad will be missed by his longtime friends, Bernie and Katy Doerksen as well as his four legged friends, Simba and Blue. He was born
in Eston, SK on May 13, 1934 and the family soon moved to Flin Flon, where Dad was raised and educated. Dad and Mom were married in 1954 and in 1966 relocated their family to Winnipeg. He spent 25 years as a teacher/Department Head at Red River Community College, retiring in 1991. Dad loved to travel and road trips were Mom and Dad's favourite way to spend time together. Fortunately, they had many of these trips across Canada and the United States. This year they were able to spend their 50th anniversary in Hawaii which was the only state he hadn't driven to. His other passion was restoring classic cars and motorcycles. A celebration of Vern's life will be held on Monday (today) July 19 at 2:00 p.m. in Silver Heights United Church, 199 Garrioch Ave. at Mount Royal Road. Special thanks to Drs. W. Schellenberg and Pat Harris and all care givers on 3 South at the Grace General Hospital. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Vern's memory to the Children's Hospital of Winnipeg Foundation Inc., CE 501 - 840 Sherbrook St., Winnipeg, MB R3A 1S1 or a charity of your choice. "Remember Dad by celebrating life!" God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can. And the wisdom to know the difference.

With his family at his side every step of the way Dad fought valiantly and uncomplaining against a lengthy illness which finally overcame him physically but was no challenge to his brilliant mind and strong spirit. In that sense he will be with us forever. Predeceased by his mother Hazel and father Sam, Dad is survived by his devoted wife of fifty two years, Gloria (nee Scinocca) and daughters, Aurelia Last and partner Shirley, and Glory Dawn Last and husband Doug. He also leaves to mourn his sister Jerry McMeekin and brother-in-law Roy McMeekin with whom he spoke to almost every night on the phone just to give each other the gears; brother-in-law and sister-in-law Shirley and Ron Scinocca from San Diego; childhood friends Brian Flye and wife Jody Flye, friends since second grade. Dad also leaves many other friends, family, nieces and nephews who each held a special place in his soft heart including Granddogs Fysal and Bertie. His friends in the block have constantly asked about him and miss him holding court in the lobby while neighbours spanning every generation stopped to talk to him, pouring out their hearts and appreciating his careful but nonjudgmental attention.
