David Freeman

Every season that I pull lifeguard and swim instructor for young children in Skokie includes a great memory of Dave and Beth. Many new swim lesson children are afraid to jump and submerge into 5 feet of water. I have to speak to them first and promise that a slow motion assisted jump will only take them above the surface of the water. We do more slow motions until they submerge nose deep. It takes awhile, or more days before they are ready to slow motion into the water and soon they will...

A small child was crying in a local thrift store. The Donald Duck sneeze with a Donald Duck sounding happy birthday song had the child, the mom, and other nearby persons laughing. The child stopped crying and waved for me to stay and do it some more. I had a face mask, but I always cover my face when I do that. How many children have laughed and got some happiness from this, no idea. Dave showed me how to do this, among many other skills such as whistling and construction just to name...

David
Thank you for being a true friend to me and a loving husband and father to Patricia, Tina, Dwayne, and Jennifer. I cherish in my heart forever the many years of long talks, laughter and wonderful memories we all shared.
Thank you for being a part of my life.
Rest In Peace

There is a candle burning, with a glass of water, and a plate on my living room table all night long. Some Latins, and many Indians know of this, an honor which is sacred.

There is much I want to say, and yet I feel strongly that there is much healing, quiet time, and respect for your family, Dave.

Distance, responsibility, and a strong admiration with serious respect for your home life has never kept the love, the friendship, and a lot of learning far from my life....

Rest in peace Mr. Freeman! U will always and forever be in my thoughts.

I was very saddened to hear of Dave's passing. I talked with him often in the course of business with Midwest. He always had a very upbeat personality that would cheer up the gloomiest of days. He will be missed by so many people.
My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

You will always be with me forever and always love you dad
