ROHM Frazier Harlan Rohm, son of Zeta Mary Jarvis & Frederick Harlan Rohm, was born in Chicago on September 23rd, 1931, and died in Portland, Oregon on July 2nd, 2011 after a long and fulfilling life, surrounded by his loving family. Frazier was first and foremost a father. He was also a scientist, an a wry, compelling sense of humor. He was a man of strong opinions, frequently buttressed by facts – to many, he was the smartest man they ever met. Frazier’s love for travel sent him to many corners of the globe and he particularly enjoyed visiting the Taj Mahal recently. Frazier was an avid reader, predominantly following world politics and economics. He loved living and working at his home outside of Vernonia and always looked forward to friends and family visiting, especially his grandchildren. After attending Reed College, he received his Bachelor of Science from the University of Washington, and obtained a PhD in Inorganic Chemistry from Washington State University. He worked for many years at Tektronix in their Analytical Lab. He is survived by his life mate of more than 40 years, Katharine Denckla, and all the children: William Anton Rohm, Michael Tigger & Susan Marie Rohm, Lisa Lee Rohm, Mary Margaret Miller, Karen Lee & Earl Davis, Jennifer Anne & Martin Holm. He is also represented by 11 grandchildren, Eric Alan Davis, Colton ‘Cody’ Edward Davis, Caitlin Hope Miller, Elijah William Miller, Nathan Frazier Rohm, Alaina Katharine Holm, Samuel Fletcher Holm, Zuriah Judson Rohm, Benjamin Esaias Holm, Kasmirah Nicole Rohmbock, Sela Ylan Rohm, and one great-granddaughter still in the oven, Piper Dawn Davis. He is also survived by his younger sister Deborah Balkis Smith and his favorite niece Deborah Balkis & David Clark Rohmbock, as well as his most recent namesake, Owen Frazier Miller. He was predeceased by his beloved older sister Dorita J. Kerner and her husband Leighton Kerner. A celebration of Frazier’s life will be held Saturday, July 16th with a pot-luck, open-house WAKE at his home of 32 years outside of Vernonia at 60501 Flack Road. All are welcome to share in the love and memory of Frazier beginning at 1:00 pm. We will join in a toast of his life at 3:00 pm.
