Thomas Leonard Frazee 2323

FRAZEE, THOMAS L., passed away on Oct. 29, 2009, at his home in Winter Park, FL with his loving wife of 33 years, Priscilla Penley Frazee at his side. He was born in California in 1948, the son of the late Col. Malcolm and Evelyn Frazee. Leaving the University of Maryland to join the Army in 1968, Tom served with pride in Vietnam as a Chief Warrant Officer helicopter pilot and received an Honorable Discharge in 1971.

After attending Embry Riddle and UCF, he chose a career as a surveyor crew chief. Tom was respected for his honesty, loyalty and quiet generosity. His many friends appreciated his quick wit, keen intellect and tales he shared from a life well traveled. Words are inadequate to convey our loss. Love could not conquer all, but when the pain ends it is the love that survives.

A memorial for friends and family will be at 2 p.m., Friday, Nov. 6 at First Christian Church of Winter Park. In lieu of flowers, a donation to Habitat for Humanity or a charity of your choice will honor his memory.
