It is with a very sad heart that I report my very good friend Ian Fraser has died. I have helped with Ian’s music many times over the last few years and we had become good friends.
Most of Ian’s songs are on the forum. Ian was also a major contributor in helping others with BiaB, RB and PTPA problems. He will be missed here.
This is the email I received from his friend, co-writer and singer Greg:
“Hi Mario,
I Just heard late 11:30 Wed evening that my brother (in heart and music) Ian Fraser died sometime over the last 2-3 days in his apartment in Ottawa. I have spoken with two of his daughters and his ex-wife. He apparently fell in the bathroom and hit his head. The coroner still has to file a report.
Please let his friends at Taxi and the other music forums he was on know that he has left us. Thank you for being his friend.
Sincerely
Greg Yarrow”
May God bless Ian Fraser
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

That's so sad. I was just PM'ing with him two weeks ago (he reached out to me for some help). He will be missed on the forum. Prayers....

I will light candles for him and his family.
As John mentioned that is so sudden and sad.

Sad to hear this Mario. He seemed a genuinely nice man. We've lost another asset on the forum. Prayers for his family...

Oh no, Mario! Such terrible news about one of our own! I feel so stupid after just pointing my "Otterwa" joke at him so recently. But, he could always hold his own when jokes were swapped. He will be long remembered as a great and willing contributor on these forums as well as his lyrical genius, a true wordsmith.
Farewell, friend!

I cannot find his obit. Maybe tomorrow. We were so short of Canadians around here already. He always got in touch when things were tough, and we'd make fun of our hearing loss. I'm having the beer we were going to have in Wakefield even if it is 10:30.

That is very sad news.
It was wise of Ian to have friends who knew of his online friendships and could notify us.

I thought that I would forgo the joke topic today out of my deep respect for Ian but I think that he would want me to continue it. He always loved a good laugh, especially at the expense of we Irish.

Agreed, Don. He'd be disappointed if you didn't post some humour.

Very sorry to hear this, Mario. Ian was one of the most positive voices on this forum.
He will be missed.

Totally sad. He was a class act.
Sitting here and wondering how it is that losing someone I have never met, was not likely to ever meet, and knew so little about can have such a stunning impact.
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
1. How much did you make in 2023? 2. Send it to us.

Okay, I posted a joke that I think Ian would enjoy and approve.
