\ Thanks ,

Dear Sir,

We would like to

acknowledge a citizen of our
| community who does endless
hours of volunteer work,
both at the hospital and in
:| homes, at all times of the day
‘| and night. She has helped
‘| countless mothers provide
‘| the best start for babies with
‘} her knowledge of
‘| breastfeeding and her will-
‘| ingness to help anyone who
‘] asks.
‘| In other communities, a
‘T qualified lactation consultant
charges for her services but
in Terrace we are fortunate
to have Pamela Straker, who
is a qualified lactation con-
‘{ sultant and charges nothing,
‘| ~The work alone she does at
‘| the hospital is invaluable and
‘| 1 know there are many doc-
tors and nurses who would
agree. The Terrace
Breastfeeding Suppart
| Group, which has been in ex-
‘| istence for over ten years and
provides a wonderful at-
mosphere of acceptance and
caring for breastfeeding
Moms, would have died out
if Pamela had not been in-
volved.

Breastfeeding may not
seem like an earthshaking
issue to a lot of people, but
on behalf of ail the Moms
and babies she has helped,
we want to thank Pamela for
her unwavering support and
| seemingly unlimited
‘+ knowledge about breast
feeding.

Yours,
Terry Walker and
Anita Sullivan

Eventually Fred bought his

.brother ‘out and the store

became known as Fred A,

Smith Ltd. Fred was instrumen- fj

tal in bringing. the first super-
market to Terrace (Super Valu)
which opened in July, 1958. He

ran the business until his first j
retirement in 1967. j

After a few years of retire-

ment he was appointed a lay &

judge and held court in Kitimat,

Prince Rupert, and Terrace. He :
in 1979 and &

again — retired

~Remembered by many _

devoted his time to his home [im

and garden. His wife Helen died
in 1982 and he married Edna in
1985,

. Throughout his years in Ter- &

race Fred took an active role in 7
the affairs and activities of the im

community, He was involved
with the hospital board, the
arena association, Terrace and
District Christian Council,
Family court, the Oddfellows
and an active Rotarian at the
time of his death.

These facts really don’t tell
the whole story of this man’s
life and from our memories we
would like to highlight some of
Fred's life.

Some will no doubt
remember groceries being
delivered by Fred in the winter
on asleigh he pulled along when
he was a young man and work-
ing for his brother, Jim. .

Many have memories of
working for Fred in his store as
cashiers, butchers,
warehousemen, etc. and subse-
quently in Super Valu. For
many this was their first job as
young people and for some their
first job as new immigrants to
Terrace. To all, Fred was very
fair and provided a good foun-
dation in their working lives.

It was no secret in this town
that Fred helped many people
out financially during tough
times and gave credit to people
to enable them to put food on
the table for their families. We
are sure that his help will never
be forgotten.

When Fred was appointed to
the bench as.a lay judge, many
went to Fred for ‘things: like
passport photographs ‘to be
signed and notarizing
documents and to. our
knowledge he never charged for
these services. People were,
however, expected to sit and
talk and reminisce, which he
loved.

Frederick Smith

Many will remember Fred’s
service to the Rotary Club and
other-service organizations. As

mentioned earlier, he was ace.
tively involved in the Terrace &

District Christian Council
which provided the first housing
for seniors on Tuck Avenue.
Fred’s. involvement in this pro-
ject went far beyond just sitting

on the board. He knew all the -

residents, helped them with
their problems, settled some of
their estates when they died,
acted as banker for some, col-
lected the rents and, as recently
as the Friday before his death,
deposited the rents in the bank.
_ In these past months Fred
was still able to plant and main-
tain his garden even while being
in and out of the Intensive Care
Unit at the hospital.

There is another sector of our
community that have good
memories of Fred, the native
people of Kitselas, Kit-
sumkalum, and the Nisga’a
Valley,

Fred passed away unex-
pectedly on Monday June 11,
1990 after several months of
declining health, He will be sad-
ly missed by ‘his wife, Edna,
sons Gary and Brent, daughter
Sheila, 7 grandchildren, -brother
Stan, and many other family
members and friends.

He was layed to rest in the old
Kitsumkalum Cemetary in the
Smith Family plot on June 15,
1990. His passing will leave a
great void on this earth but we
thank God for memories.
