Councilors passed a measure to dedicate the corner of Windsor and Bryant Streets to the memory of the late Fiorindo “Fred” Antonelli of Everett, who passed away on August 7 at the age of 76 after a short battle with cancer. Antonelli was a proud Italian-American and U.S. Army veteran who served in Vietnam.

The dedication was proposed by Councilor Michael McLaughlin, who knew Antonelli personally and called it “a huge honor” to dedicate the square in his name. “He was a mentor and role model. All the young kids really looked up to him,” he said. “He was a citizen we should all strive to be.”
