Monica and I were extremely saddened to learn of Fred’s passing. Fred, Betty and family were good friends and we always enjoyed their company and genuine Newfoundland hospitality. Many a laugh over a cup of tea and Jam-Jams. I also knew Fred well at Champion Road Machinery Ltd. where we both worked, and we always passed the time of day whenever I visited Fred at his station in the factory. Fred, Long may your big jib draw, b’y.
