Harry died on his 96th birthday, Dec. 3, 2013, at his home on Nantucket Island. He summered there but moved to the island permanently upon retiring as president of Topics Publishing Co., publisher of drug- and food-trade journals. While working in New York City, Harry commuted from Princeton. (His phone number was 924-1939.)

Harry already had started his own real-estate firm when he moved to Nantucket in 1979. He set a sales record one year in the 1980s. An avid golfer, he wintered in Pinehurst, N.C., in his later years.

Harry’s first job was with Johnson & Johnson. “Then came the war,” he wrote in our 25th-reunion book. “I served as a major in the Army and was a battery commander in the Third Army Field Artillery in Europe. I earned a Purple Heart, but I am most proud of the fact that Gen. Patton pinned my Bronze Star on me.”

As an undergraduate, Harry starred on our tennis and hockey teams. At Baker Rink, he was known for his “disarming chip shot — the Fraker flip.”

Harry’s first wife, Marjorie Tomlinson, died in 1986. They had five children, including architect Harrison S. (“Pony”) Fraker ’64. Harry’s second wife, Barbara Rulon-Miller w’36, died in 2006.
