William John Stuard Frazer
July 6, 1940 – December 9, 2025
William John Stuard Frazer, lovingly known as Bill, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, at Seaforth Hospital.
Bill was born on July 6, 1940, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and throughout his life he carried with him a deep love for family, kindness toward others, and a quiet strength that touched everyone who knew him. Above all else, Bill always put his family first, showing unwavering love, patience, and generosity.
Bill is survived by his beloved wife of 60 years, Valerie Frazer (Best), and their daughters Amanda (Jeff), Angela (Ollie), and Joanne. He will be deeply missed by his grandchildren Angela, Nicole, Darren Frazer, Jamie Carey, Samantha (Austin) Bunn, Jacob Abbott (Samantha), and Mason and Lucy Augustus.
His greatest joy in life was his great-grandchildren, who never failed to bring a smile to his face, no matter how he was feeling. They include Silina Brall, Jaxson and Austin Leonard, Anthony and Marcus Alton, Karsyn Frazer, Valerie and Levi Bunn, and Annalise and Liam Walker-Frazer.
Bill will also be fondly remembered by Derek and Lindsay Abbott, as well as his sisters Lilly, Emma, and Margaret, his brother-in-law Bertie, and his sister-in-law Joan, whose unwavering support meant so much to Bill and Valerie. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews in Northern Ireland.
Bill was predeceased by his parents Jack and Elizabeth Frazer, his sister Isobell, his son-in-law Phil, and his great-granddaughter Elena Frazer.
Bill’s journey with dementia was made more bearable by the extraordinary compassion of those around him. Valerie and her family will be forever grateful for the kindness shown by their community. A special thank you to Joyce Carter and Doug McKellar for their friendship, visits, meals, and the many times they stepped in to help—your generosity will never be forgotten.
Valerie would also like to sincerely thank the medical professionals involved in Bill’s care, including Drs. Uniac and Potvin, Huron County Paramedics, the staff at Clinton Public Hospital, and the emergency doctors and nurses at Seaforth Hospital.
Finally, and with deepest gratitude, the family wishes to acknowledge the incredible team at Huronview Home. From the day Bill entered until his passing, he was treated with dignity, compassion, and respect that exceeded all expectations. The administration staff, kitchen, maintenance, activation team, PSWs, laundry, housekeeping, and nursing staff are truly remarkable individuals who work together as an exceptional team. The family will always be thankful for the love and care you gave Bill at every stage of his illness.
Bill’s kindness, devotion to family, and gentle spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
Cremation has taken place. A celebration of Bill’s life will take place in the new year, details to come. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Huronview Activation Program are appreciated by the family.
