Spokane, WA. He was 63. He was
the only son of former residents of
Enterprise, Jim and Mary Frazier.
He graduated from Enterprise
High School in 1976 and immedi-

operator serving in Germany. Upon
his return to the states he worked in
many interesting fields, especially those that showcased
his talent for the arts, most of all woodworking. He en-

He would leave a mark wherever he landed.
