Mr. Frazier was born on Dec. 11, 1918 in Mobile, Alabama, and lived in El Macero since 1970. He died at David Grant Medical Center, Travis Air Force Base after a short illness. First and foremost, Mr. Frazier was a military man. He joined the Army Air Corp (sic) at an early age and became a bomber pilot in the USAF Strategic Air Command, serving in World War II, the Korean War and the Viet Nam Conflict. After service at many duty stations including Texas, Oklahoma, England and the Pacific, Mr. Frazier was stationed at Travis Air Base, Military Air Transport Division, from where he retired in 1966. Many area residents knew Mr. Frazier as the owner of Markley Cove Resort from 1964 to 1987. He loved hearing and telling fish tales. His stories entertained fishermen coming and going. He was even known to occasionally catch a "big one" himself. Mr. Frazier loved to drive through the countryside of California. He was captivated by the beauty of Lake Berryessa and the business opportunities offered. For years he opened the store at 6 a.m. and visited with whoever had the time or inclination to talk with him. Mr. Frazier is survived by his wife, Elna; daughter, Leigh Sutherland; son and daughter-in-law, John and Linda Frazier; grandchildren Chad and Betsy Frazier, and Quincey Sutherland, all of Winters. A memorial service will be held on Friday, March 23, at 2 p.m. at Smith's Colonial Chapel in Winters. A celebration of his life will follow.
