Hank Freeman Obituary
It is with a very heavy heart that we announce the passing of Hank (Harris) Freeman. Hank passed on April 20th of complications stemming from heart failure and post-polio syndrome.
In 1953, Hank was one of the last children in New Jersey to contract polio before the disease was wiped out with the polio vaccine. A lifelong resident of Hackensack, Hank attended Hackensack High, graduating with the class of '67. He attended Ohio University, graduating with a B.A. Hank managed the family building/contracting company Beskin-Freeman Co. for several years before becoming a commercial real estate salesperson; working for Cushman Wakefield, and David Hirschman Realty Co.
Hank is survived by his beloved wife of 25 years Barbara, stepson Frank Fillie, sisters Lisa Schreiber and Barbara Maroth, recently deceased brother-in-law Reuven Maroth, nephew Charlie Schreiber, nieces Jordana Maroth and Leigh Faller, great niece Shani Maroth, sister and brother in law Carolyn and James Patroni, and nieces Dawn Harrah and Joanna Igoe.
"We will take good care of your dear Barbara, Hank! And, we will all love and miss you always!"

Hank was a close friend and an inspiration through my entire my life. I think about him every time our Rotary Club discusses the Polio Plus projects. I tell my family and others about how he lived "on the sticks" due to polio. We spent a lot of time together at school, in Baldwin park and at his house on Elm Street. The way Hank handled his polio disability was amazing. He played quarterback in our football games and we tackled him! He batted in the baseball games and we had someone run the bases for him. I recall sleeping over at his house many times, and we wrestled on the floor for hours. Hank: Thank you and rest in peace.
