Predeceased by his son Eric in 1986; his brothers; Ralph, 1953 and

Jennie Burton (St. John's) and Iris (Jack) Dicks, Halifax; 12 grandchildren;
3 great- grandchildren; a large circle of relatives and friends, and
his big devoted cat "Puffy".
Freeman Wareham was born in
1901 at Haystack, Placentia Bay and at a young age entered his father's
fishery supply business, established at Spencer's Cove. At age 12 he
survived a harrowing winter shipwreck on southern Miquelon, but managed
to get ashore and walked several miles to the nearest village. In the
early 1920's he succeeded his father as manager of Alberto Wareham
Ltd., a business he was to operate for more than 70 years. The company
owned a number of foreign-going vessels, trading with Spain, Portugal
and the West Indies. The best known of these were the four- master
schooner "Herbert L. Rawding" and the banking schooner "Alberto
Wareham". The company employed hundreds of people, fishermen,
sailors, blacksmiths, coopers, sailmakers, office workers, and many
more. After a devastating fire in 1964, the business relocated to Arnold's
Cove, in part because of the government-sponsored resettlement program.
In response to the needs for a safe and secure way to transport houses
from the islands slated for resettlement, the company constructed a
large floating barge, which was capable of carrying the houses. Over
the next five years, more than 70 houses were transported to a number
of communities on the Placentia Bay coastline. He was a founding member
of the Arnold's Cove Lions Club, a recipient of the Lieutenant Governor's
Canada 125 Medal, and a life-long member of the Anglican Church, first
at Spencer's Cove and then at Arnold's Cove. He will be sadly missed
by his family and friends who give thanks for his long and productive
life. Resting at Fewer's Funeral Home, Arnold's Cove. Visitation on
Sunday, May 10, 1998, 7-10 pm; Monday, May 11, 1998, 2-5 pm and 7-10
