I'll also miss him, He was always like a big brother to me.I knew him all my life. He used to come over everyday when I was a little kid and bring me a Almond Joy candy bar, he allways called me "Baby Duck"..My thoughts and prayers are with his Family.

Freeman and I go back a long long time. We became friends in 1965 and during a few school years, he was my body guard. I was small and he was tough. ha ha Freeman treated me as a little brother and although we drifted apart ( I moved to N.C.) We remained friends. I had the chance to visit him several years ago and it seemed like old times. I told him that I believed that I could whip him now, and he said that I was bigger, but don't try it. I will miss Freeman. I pray for his loved ones and family. A.C. Hill form the Old River Road days.
