Peter Fraser

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, family and friend, Peter Fraser of Hudson, NH.

Peter’s story began on August 28th, 1953, in Stoneham, MA, when he was born to parents Fred and Ann (Mossey) Fraser.

As a young boy he attended Hudson schools, graduating from Alvirne High, class of 1971. Not long after Peter met Sue and they fell in love, got married and had three children who Peter was very proud of and loved dearly. With the help of family and friends Peter built the family’s lifelong home, the signature log cabin on Central St. This would always be his sanctuary whether it was sitting on the porch or in his man cave basement listening to music and pondering life.

Peter loved all things sports and had a competitive drive. This quality did not serve us well when it was family game night because he hated to lose but we pretended to have fun anyways. He took the game of cornhole very seriously at family parties, measuring the correct distance between the holes every time and watched the scoreboard like a hawk. As a young man he excelled at playing football and pitching softball. His love of the mountains made him an avid skier, an experienced fly fisherman, which became a favorite hobby that he shared with his son Ryan. There were many family trips to Twin Mountain.

For many years he and Sue enjoyed traveling to the Caribbean, especially Aruba and Punta Cana. He made certain to learn the word, “Presidente” so he could kindly ask for more beer from the staff in Punta Cana. They conveniently traveled in the dead of winter when there was a two-foot snowstorm back home.

Peter loved a good gathering especially if there was music and dancing. He would rip up the dance floor like no one was watching. His favorite song had to be, “You shook me all night long” by ACDC, which always got the party started.

He was a hard-working man and held various positions over the years with several local companies. His last position was with the Sprinkler Fitters Union, Boston Local 550, where he worked up until his retirement. He held great pride in being a Union worker and they continued to take care of him and Sue long after he hung up his hardhat.

Peter was a gentle, generous soul and loved his animals, especially his beloved dog Juno who was the protector of the family for many years. If you could get by Juno, then you were alright to join the rest of the clan.

Peter is predeceased by his father, mother, and brother David. He is survived by his wife Susan of 48 years, his daughter Shannon and husband Phil, his son Ryan, his daughter Lindsey and husband Bentley, and his grandsons Sam, Jack, and Patrick. He is survived by his siblings Fred, Maureen, Alan, Glen, and Debbie, his brother-in-law Kenny, as well as several nieces, nephews, cousins, and close friends.

Our family would like to extend our gratitude for all the love and support we received from friends, family, and the caring staff at St. Joseph Hospital. This was Peter’s source of strength when he needed it most.

Peter will always be remembered for his generous nature and rough exterior. He was a tough old buck that never went down without a fight, even at the very end. His legacy will live on as we continue to solve the problems of the world from his Central St. porch.

There will be no visitation hours. A Celebration of Life will be held in the Fall at the convenience of the family. To share an online message of condolence, please visit www.dumontsullivan.com The Dumont-Sullivan Funeral Home in Hudson is in charge of arrangements.
