Incomplete- either tell what he did because he was fonder, or change sentence to read:
He became fonder of taking vacations and going on long weekends after his wife's death.

Well, it is a fragment because you don't finish your thought.
You could say, and I will bold what I add so that you see it is a fragment:
Having become fonder of taking vacations and going on long weekends after the death of his wife, Mr. Smith has vacationed on 3 different continents since his wife passed.

Nope that's still not right as the sentence above is still not complete even if you change it to this.
