    So sorry to hear of Fred’s passing. Having grown up on Bell Island close to the Barrett home I became friends with Fred and a number of his siblings. Fred took me by the hand the first day of attending St.Aidens School on Wast Mines and made it a point to walk with me many mornings after until I had the nerve to do so on my own. God bless you Fred You will be missed Wayne
