I was saddened to hear of Hugh’s passing. I worked with him for several years at the City of Delta.  He was highly regarded as an engineer but more importantly was a very kind, genuine person and greatly respected by his coworkers. He will be missed. Please  accept my condolences.

May God Continue to keep the family of this dear servant of God in perfect peace. Thanks to everyone who provided spiritual and moral support to the family and relatives of this Hero of Faith who stood with  Rev Joshua and other compassionate Servants of God to support our esteemed Theological Institution in our country Kenya- (Protestant Reformation Theological College) Hebrews 6:10. We love you all and our prayers are always with you in Jesus name. Revelation 21: 3-7

Hugh we will miss you. You loved the BC waterways.

Fin and I have such great memories of visiting Hugh, Cathy and the girls in 2000. Hugh took us on an action packed whistle stop tour one day- Grouse mountain for cross country skiing, the capilano suspension bridge and a visit to a naval vessel. Plus I’m sure we went to a dam as well. He reminded me of his  dad with so much energy and so many facts and figures. I remember Fin and I were only in our 20’s but we could hardly keep up! It was such a fun day. The only time Fin has ever been skiing! 
We are thinking of you all and remembering you in our prayers. The service was a beautiful tribute to Hugh, but above all a call to follow the saviour he loved.

With sadness, I think of the loss that Hugh Fraser is to his family, the church and to me. In remembrance of Hugh, I recall his genuine heart for shepherding people and profound reverence in his walk with God. While it is a loss for us on earth, we rejoice that he is fully breathing in the air of heaven, beholding the face of his wonderful Saviour. 

"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."  
Romans 8:18

I feel so blessed to share relations with the Fraser’s that brought me to Hugh and Cathy’s home during my time living in Vancouver, where I was welcomed with open arms every Sunday by the whole family. I have so many memories of Hugh over those years, from church services he led and the many messages he preached that taught me so much and shared his deep love for the Lord, to the immense knowledge and wisdom he shared over countless Sunday dinner discussions, to sage advice as Kyla, Hannah and I planned for trips, to cross country ski evenings, to days out (photo from a trip up the Indian Arm in 2019, one of my favourite memories from my time in Canada).

Hugh was such an example of how to live for the Lord in every part of life, always there with kindness, encouragement, wisdom, endless stories and a great sense of humour. He will be deeply missed.

Dear Kathy,

While I now live in Caithness, in the north of Scotland, my memories of Hugh (& the Fraser family) were formed as a young boy growing up in Toronto – that said, Hugh was 13 years older than me and understandably our interactions were not as many as those I had with his younger brothers. My family returned to Scotland in 1990.

By 2011 I was police officer , posted to Shetland, where I served as the Chief Inspector / Area Commander. As a result of this role, I had occasion to escort the Chief Constable for the police service covering the north of Scotland, as he toured Shetland. While driving along in the car we were speaking about professional standards and complaints about the police. At that moment I got a radio message that a Mr Fraser had attended at Lerwick Police Station and would only speak with me. The Chief Constable asked what would have happened that someone would only speak to the Area Commander. With a sense of trepidation I returned to the station, accompanied by the Chief Constable. On our arrival I was met by Hugh, who I had not seen for over 22 years. The Chief could not believe (I must say I could barely believe it myself) that someone who I had last met over 20 years ago and who lived thousands of miles away would end up in Shetland and would take the time to visit. 

Cancelling my plans for an evening meal with the Chief Constable, Ruth (my wife) and I spent a lovely evening with Hugh when he visited our home. We still remember his prayer for us. The next morning, I drove him the 30 minutes to the airport, and it was great to further reminisce about Toronto. Subsequently, Hugh sent me job adverts for senior police officer roles in British Columbia – a nice touch that made me smile and was tempting at times.

Ruth and my abiding memory of Hugh is a lovely, godly man who took time, in his busy schedule visiting family in Shetland, to seek out someone from over 2 decades earlier.

With love and condolences
Angus & Ruth MacInnes

To me, Hugh was a faithful elder whom I highly respected from the day I got to know him. His shepherd heart for the flock was admirable and inspiring. I will never forget his care and compassion for the church. He was such a loving and kind leader that exemplified the qualities for eldership laid out in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1. His sermons and teaching focused on the Gospel of Christ, as well as exhorted me in my sanctification. 

A quality I would like to emulate that he truly possessed – more so than anyone I have ever met – was humility. In his sermons and exhortations, unlike many contemporary pastors today, he never spoke about himself or exalted himself in his sermons and teachings. He focused on being true to Scripture and highlighted Christ and Him crucified.

I had the privilege to know and work with Hugh for over thirteen years at the City of Delta.  I always appreciated his curiosity and shared many conversations on topics ranging from road construction to computer mapping to information technology.  I remember a few years ago during a solar eclipse, Hugh had his pinhole camera in the parking lot and was teaching staff to safely observe the event.  He was an engineer’s kind of engineer.  My condolences to the family.  He was a good guy.

I was working in Delta's Operations Department when I finished school and I applied for an Engineering Technician's position. Hugh was on the interview panel. He asked me a question about stormwater BMP's and when I hesitated, I still remember him saying "Man alive Harald; why aren't they teaching these kids this stuff?".  To my surprise, I got the job.
We always knew when Hugh was out in the field because he brought the field back with him to the office. He fell into the bog a number of times and the usual the ditch of the day spending the rest of the afternoon with a wet pant leg. 
He always valued my opinion and treated me with nothing but respect, even when I faulted. He created the type of leadership condition when I did not want to let him down. He taught me to always look at the bigger picture and I still use his teachings everyday. He had the respect of everyone.
All my best to the Fraser family,
Rob Racine
Former Delta Engineering Project Technologist

I met Hugh in 1996 when Delta was looking for extra help in our Utility Section. I instantly saw value in what Hugh could do for us and we started chatting about Hugh leaving the consulting world and working for Delta.  The only concern that both of us had was how long that Hugh would want to work for a municipality.    We reached agreement that Hugh would commit to staying with Deta for 5 years and I hired him on the spot.  20 years later I met Hugh at a conference and he quietly let me know that he had met his 5 year commitment.  He certainly did that having served Delta for over 20 years.  

I was very pleased to have been able to chat with Hugh during his last days and share some of the positive experiences we had together.

Special memory to our dear brother Hugh， he show us his deep love to us in Christ,  we prayed together, talked each other, see the great godly person example, and he will continue live in our heart. will pray for his family, his wife and daughters, and his church.

I count it a privilege to be connected in some small way to the Fraser family by way of my sister’s marriage. A godly heritage is a great and precious gift from the Lord and the “memory of the just is blessed.” Proverbs 10:7. May God bless the memory and the testimony of the first and head among the siblings of this God-fearing family.

Being a religious man, Hugh had a great heart and dedication to the people of Delta as he worked for 23 years with the Delta Municipal government.  I remember that he never failed to come to my office to share his wisdom and comments about any project.  

Hugh was one of the very best of men, for whom I had great respect. 
He will be greatly missed by all those that knew or worked along side him, as he has left his stamp indelibly upon our municipality and our people.

Our condolences to his family and friends.  Rest in peace Hugh .. a life very well lived.!!

Mayor of Delta, 1999 - 2018
Councillor 1972 - 2022

I still remember meeting Hugh slightly over  20 years ago when I was a junior engineer working on a watermain project. I had a few questions and reached out to him for guidance. Not only did he agree to meet, but he took the time to patiently explain his expectations and the reasoning behind them. That willingness to help, along with his patience and thoughtfulness, stayed consistent throughout the years. Hugh will be truly missed. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

Raymond Fung

Sincere condolences to all of Hugh’s Family. He was a true leader at the City of Delta - leading by example - kindness, integrity, commitment and compassion - all with a a glint in his eye and smile on his face. He will be missed. 
Sincerely, 
Jeannie Kanakos, former City Councillor.

Dear Fraser family, may you receive the comfort of our Lord’s Presence in His Word. Psalm 116:15… We have fond memories of hearing the family sing Psalms as their devotion rang out over Lake Scugog from their cottage.  It’s so good to read that the Lord preserved faith in the family.
