The family and friends of Wilfred A. Berry have established a fund to assist young men and women of the Virgin Islands who are committed to education and non-violence to pursue a career in law enforcement.
The Barry Law Enforcement Scholarship Fund, spearheaded by Jeanette Smith-Barry , will be administered by the Community Foundation V.I. (CFVI).
A release from CFVI said, "Wilfred Barry's untimely passing has left a void in our community, where he served as a role-model for young people, and worked so hard to steer them away from drugs, violence and crime, and toward bright and promising futures.
"By endowing this memorial Fund at the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands (CFVI), family and friends wish to share the spirit of a husband, father, friend and colleague, who gave unselfishly, with all his being, for the good of all."
Contributions to The Barry Law Enforcement Scholarship Fund should be mailed to the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands, P.O. Box 11790, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, 00801. Personal notes of condolence will be forwarded to the family.
