I'm sad I dont have more memories of him. Only priveleged to meet him once.
But that smile is contagious....
Stir IT UP
December 09...We were late being picked up because another couple sharing a ride could not be found...Alfred Made the trip in I'm sure was record time..at one point I was sure we were on two wheels around a corner..Alfred looked over his shoulder at me and said "No Worries I am A Professional" Then laughed that loud laugh of his. Of course we made it safe and on time for our flight.
I met Alfred for the first time 3 weeks ago. He drove myself and another couple to our hotels. I met the couple at Atlanta airport and we are all from around the St.louis area and we just happened to end up in the same ride with Alfred.I was telling them that I was going to shoot pool at Tayons that night and Alfred looks at me and says that is where I hang out. He tells me there is a guy there that is real good. We made jokes and Alfred bet me that the dude would destroy me. I told the couple the I was going to Ragabones the next day and hoped my friend Trombone would be there and Alfred looks at me and says that's crazy. He says how do you know him? I grew up with him. I said that awhile back I met him at Ragabones. So we get to Green Island and I mention that I am going to shoot pool at a little place called Patsies . Alfred slows down and gives me this look and says oh my god who are you and what is going on here. That's my cousins place.I went to Tayons that night and was shooting and I turn around and there's Alfred right behind me.We drank and shot pool and got real loud.Alfred had a big voice and big heart. Another good person taken too soon. RIP Alfred.
My condolences to his family...RIP Alfred..Another senseless killing in Jam..

This is such sad news...
Markus and I were shocked when we read this
We did not have the opportunity to meet Alfred in person, but we've read so much about him here at Negril.com. He was loved by so many people.
Our prayers and condolences go out to his friends and his family.
Carpe Diem
I'm so very sad. RIP Alfred. Prayers to the family and all of his many many friends. You will missed so very much.
So sad to hear this--and it is so random and violent. Alfred was an upstanding Jamaican with good morals. It is terrible that his life was cut short just by being in the wrong place at the wrong moment. He shared a lot about himself with me in the ride from Mobay to Negril. He helped me navigate Megamart and insisted on pushing the cart for me. I told him to pick out something for himself in the store and he chose treats for his kids.
I'm just hearing about this. I did not know Mr. Barrett, but I am sure that for those of you who did, and his family this is a very sad loss. WHen pieces of Jamaica leave like this it is sad for all of us.
Crikey, this sure makes my heart hurt, Alfred was a lovely gentleman, bout my age I think - he drive me several times when I was in Negril in past days, to the store back & forth with groceries and from the airport back when it was 50 or 60 $ to fly from MoBay to Negril in them little planes, jeez this is sad news. My heart is truly with all his family and friends. So very weary of some people they want to solve every little disagreement with a gun, wow, and here comes Alfred without a mean bone in his body, just trying to walk in a door, my god...
