Charlie, or as family and friends fondly knew him – Pops, Pawpaw, Skinner, Bujack, Hawk, was born November 9, 1955, son of the late Carl Frazier, Sr. and Emily Sue Nicholson Frazier.
Charlie will be so deeply missed by his wife and loving companion of 50 years, Barbara Frazier. Together they have proudly raised six children, the late Susan Michelle Lockhart, John Taylor Jr. (Missy), Bonnie Taylor (Byron), Tracy Vina (Manny), Melody Ramey (JR), and Chris Taylor (Julie). Also surviving are 10 grandchildren and 20 great-children. He thoroughly enjoyed spending time with his ‘Special Little Man’, Mason. Surviving siblings are Carl Frazier Jr., Mary Soyars, Lynwood Frazier, Melvin (Caroline), and Brenda Williams. Charlie wanted his two special nephews, DJ Snipes of Front Royal, and Frankie Bridge of Front Royal, to know that he enjoyed guiding you through your childhood.
Charlie retired after 35 years of service from Riverton Corporation as a Repairman Welder. During his tenure with Riverton, Charlie served as the Union President for many years with Local 225. In his younger years, he enjoyed laying sod. One moment he often would boost about was laying sod for the front of the White House.
Charlie spent countless hours and years at Front Royal Little League, coaching his son, Chris, and grandchildren the game of baseball. Softball, he was a pitcher, 1st baseman, played on many teams as well as having his own team, CNF. Charlie considered his brother, Lynwood, his best friend. Together they would collect local metal, split, and sell wood, and ride around “Buck Mountain”. He was an active member of the Sons of the American Legion, Post 53, where he enjoyed volunteering, shooting pool, and having a few beers with his buddy, Dan Remillard. He was also a member of the local Moose Chapter 829.
Charlie will always be remembered for his willingness to lend a helping hand. To his children and grandchildren, “He is the strongest man we have ever known”.
