So sad to hear of Jumbo’s passing. I was lucky to have worked with him. He was such a nice man, and cared so deeply for his family, community and the delta. My deepest sympathies and condolences to Lucy and the rest of the Fraser family.
I am so sad to learn of my dear friends passing. My condolences to Lucy, Amy and the rest of his family. He will be greatly missed by his family, his community and his friends . Rest easy my friend.
Mr Fraser was a good fellow. And very helpful. I shall miss his twinkle.
I am so sad to hear about the death of Jumbo Fraser. He was a good man. He was always concerned about his family and community. I first met him when I was a Nurse Practitioner in the Nursing Station from 1977-1979. I appreciated his concern for others, his integrity, his work ethic. I would have liked to say my goodbyes to him. I am sorry that he is gone. Lynn
My prayers are with you and family.
Fred Jumbo Fraser lived a full and fruitful life. He was a good friend, always cheerful and ready to lend a helping hand. My condolence to his Lucy, Roland and the rest of the family. He will surely be missed.
Condolences to the Fraser family. Met Jumbo while working on the Peace Delta project. Nice man.
Rest in peace.
My condolences to his family. Jumbo was such a driving force for the work that we are doing to try to bring water back to the delta. He inspired me and I am sure many others to care about this beautiful place. He was such a caring person.
I was so sorry to hear of Jumbo’s passing. He was a great guy and I was proud to call him my friend! My sincere condolences to the entire Fraser family on his passing, He will be missed.
I’m grateful to have learned from Jumbo’s great knowledge of the lands, waters and wildlife in the Delta on my first visit there in 2009. His humour and love of community also shone through every time I met him. I just heard of his passing today – my condolences to Lucy and the Fraser family.
I am so so saddened to hear of Jumbo’s passing. He gifted me and my partner Norm with so much, especially being allowed to call him my “spirit grandfather” which I am sure made him eye roll a little bit and chuckle too. We met Jumbo on travel assignment from Toronto. He introduced us to the heart and soul of his beloved Fort Chip. It was hard to leave. I am grateful we stayed in touch for years. I am grateful Jumbo shared his Light with me. He absolutely adored talking about his family and their adventures. A beautiful kind decent strong humble joyful man. As we always ended our calls: I love you Jumbo. Much love and strength to Lucy and family . Love ❤️ from Croatia.
I was so sorry to hear of Jumbo’s passing. As the months have passed, it has not been any easier to accept he is gone. My sympathies to his family and friends. Jumbo was one of my most favorite people. I feel very lucky to have spent many hours with him both in boardrooms and in more relaxing settings over the years. For years I have kept the pieces of rat root he gave me in a special spot at home. He explained to me that it is a healing agent and, even though I haven’t used it since that first time he gave it to me – “to see the look on my face” :)- it absolutely has been a healing agent. Every time I come across the small envelope marked ” Rat Root – from Jumbo” it makes me smile.
I have thought so often, over the years since cooking on the Miskinaw Coast Guard vessel, of the remarkable times I shared with Jumbo, his dad Roddie and his wonderful family whether we were docked in Ft. Chip or in Ft. McMurray or on the river between these two places. Always such joy was had by me in the company of such beautiful people. I was thinking about Jumbo today as I chewed a piece of rat root. On occasion he would gift me will this healing root. I had lost touch but in searching Jumbo’s name and seeing of his passing almost a year ago I had to say thank you for all the wonderful memories that I have carried in my heart over the years.
