To Aunt Rosalind and family,
I was saddened to hear of Freeman’s passing. His is a great loss to your family, to those us from William’s Harbour and indeed to all of Labrador. Freeman had a great love for William’s Harbour, it’s surrounding lands and seas and for our traditional lifestyle of hunting, fishing, gathering and living of the land.
Freeman was a great source of traditional knowledge amongst our people. He could always be relied upon to teach us some traditional skill, whether it was the best place to hunt or fish or how build a traditional wooden boat.
I still fondly remember visiting Freeman and Rosalind each time I was home. Their house was like my second home while in William’s Harbour. There were lots of conversations over tea, coffee and sweets. Freeman always loved to hear how you were doing and was always there with a word of encouragement or praise.
He will be greatly missed. Yet another bright light has dimmed in William’s Harbour.
Thinking of you all on this most sad occasion.

I know two of this gentleman’s family…Todd and Rob. Both are fine gentlemen themselves..who no doubt, had a great teacher and parent in their father. I’m sure he lived a wonderful Labrador Inuk life, and will rest peacefully in the Big Land. Sincere condolences to all his family.

Q: What will you never forget about Freeman?
A: Sorry to hear of Freeman's passing. I have a lot of great memories growing up and spending summers in William's Hr. Freeman, Norm and all the boys would have a great time down telling jokes and carrying on around the fish plant, those days certainly played a significant part of my early years and am happy to have experienced that. Thinking of you all as you lay him to rest.
Regards,
Tony Parr

Todd,
I often think of my days at "LMN" sitting outside your office listening to you chat with your dad about the issues of the day and how they would impact your work and our rights. I remember feeling so impressed with your dads insights on whatever the subject of the day might be. It was very obvious how passionate, intelligent and insightful he was. It was also very apparent how proud he was of you. I have no doubt that pride only increase in the years since.
I am thinking of you all with a heavy heart but also fond memories and deepest sympathy - Wanda
