St. Johnsville - Cyrus D. (Cy) Frasier, 90, of Oppenheim passed away peacefully on Sunday May 17, 2020 after a long illness.
He was born May 12, 1930 in Edinburg, NY the son of the late Brayton and Ada (Edwards) Frasier and was educated in Northville schools.
Cy was last employed as the Codes Enforcement Officer for the Towns of Ephratah, Oppenheim and Stratford. He began his working career as a farmer in Fordsbush, NY. He was then employed as a bus driver and custodian for the Oppenheim - Ephratah Central School District. He was employed as a service repairman for Agway in Fort Plain, NY.

All you had to do was give him a call and he would be right there to do whatever he could to help. Cy loved helping his children and grandchildren learn how to do electrical work, building projects and anything else he was good at. He was never happier than when he was helping someone in need.
Cy served 40 years on the Board of Education for the Oppenheim -Ephratah School District. It was one of his proudest achievements, as he loved the school and wanted the best education for all the kids who attended there.
