Groton, CT - Douglas William George Fraser was born in 1953 in Kirkcaldy, Scotland and passed away in Westerly, RI on July 3, 2018.
Douglas, together with his parents, Margaret and George and his younger brother, Andrew, immigrated to the United States on July 4, 1965 becoming citizens in 1976.
Douglas resided in Norwich, CT and attended NFA graduating in 1971. He went on to obtain many certifications in HVAC and propane. Douglas was the Manager of Osterman Propane in Oakdale, CT before retiring in 2010.
Douglas obtained his professional captain’s license and was a member of the Westerly Yacht Club where he enjoyed playing Santa each year for the club. Douglas’ pride and joy was his Express Cruiser, Starcrest, named after a boat owned by his father, George, in Scotland. Douglas could be found most weekends in the summer on Starcrest at Napatree Point surrounded by friends.
