    Story

    Sadly "Big John Frazer" as he was affectionately known, our beloved friend, family and door steward of 30 years at Nice n Sleazy, passed away peacefully in his sleep at the weekend.

    We were fortunate and privileged to have John grace our doors for so long. He was a warm and caring human being who saw the best in people, even at their worst!!! We shall miss his larger than life presence, his hugs, his incredible laugh and beautiful smile, his wind ups, his pint of tea, his pocket of sweets and his deadly stare. He saw it all on our door, he was a much loved character on Sauchiehall St, he loved his job and he loved people.

    He is survived by two daughters and a brother, who loved him dearly.

    People have been getting in touch wanting to contribute. So we thought this would be a nice way to show support to his family with the costs involved, especially when there are limits on how many can pay their respects at a service.

      Kathryn, Zara , Kirsty and Chaz are overwhelmed by the generosity and tributes shown towards their family. They would like to thank everyone for the incredible support they have received which has assisted in giving John the beautiful service that they wished for. I will leave this page for another few days as tributes are still coming in and the family will have great comfort from reading and replying to these in time. All the flowers and cards from Nice n Sleazy were taken to the service and to Johns beautiful daughters. Thank you xxx

      Big John was like a lighthouse on Sauchiehall St - always there with a welcoming hug, an offer of tea and a smile. He was interested in everybody, even if it was just to poke fun ! An everyday hero.
