He was born June 1, 1917, to Dr. and Mrs. James W. Frazer Sr. of Bayonne, N.J.
He spent his youth honing skills in fields he loved -- music, art and photography. After he spent 10 years as a professional drummer, his interests in art and photography grew, and he decided to further his study of photography and become a professional. At that time he met his future wife, Margaret W. Fitzpatrick of Bayonne.
For the next 30 years, he operated his own studio in New Jersey. Later, the Frazers moved to Sarasota, Fla., where he became the art manager of the D&S Photography plant.
When they retired to Henderson, he met Ed Laffman, a well-known local photographer, and they worked together for the next 10 years until they both retired.
He spent his retirement with his hobbies, and his love of drumming never waned. He played for a senior citizen group in Henderson and at many other functions around town.
