MR J. A. FRASER STRATFORD-upon-AVON (formerly of Llangwm) The funeral took place on Thursday, of Mr John Arnold Fraser, of Stratford-upon-Avon, and formerly of Llangwm, who died at Myton Hamlet Hospice, Warwick, after a short illness. Aged 68, he leaves to mourn his wife of 50 years, Beryl, children Wendy, Martin and Lindsey and grandchildren David, Sean, Ryan, Rhiannon, Rachel and Elizabeth. Born and raised in Carlisle, one of five children, he joined the Royal Navy at 15 and served throughout the world. In 1954, he married Beryl John of Llangwm, where they made their home. On leaving the Navy, John joined the Pembrokeshire Fire Brigade at Haverfordwest, transferring to Birmingham in 1963, where he served as a fire officer until his retirement in 1985. During his career he demonstrated great courage and devotion to duty on many occasions. He volunteered to help at the scene of the Aberfan disaster in 1966 and received a Commendation for Bravery from HRH the Duke of Kent for his actions at a fatal fire in Birmingham in 1984. John and Beryl returned to Llangwm when he retired and he devoted much time to his grandchildren, eventually moving back to the Midlands in 1997 to be closer to them. During his years in Llangwm, he was a popular member of Llangwm RFC and for several seasons became official trainer/first aid man for the club. In this capacity his skills were prominent, never more so than when during a cup match played in Cardiff, a Llanishen player was in danger of swallowing his tongue following an injury, and thanks to John? prompt action, a serious situation was averted. A proud man, John was kind and generous and always willing to help others. He fought his illness with typical resolve and much dignity, and will be greatly missed by his family and all who knew him. The funeral took place at Oakley Wood Crematorium, Stratford-upon-Avon, where a guard of honour was formed by officers and firefighters from Woodgate Valley Fire Station, supported by colleagues from other fire stations around Birmingham, where John served as a station sub-officer.
