Please accept my deepest sympathy on Dr Freeman's death. He was a major mentor to me. I spent the summer of 1969 in the Freeman lab on a NSF undergraduate research grant. He helped nurture my love of science and chemistry and was instrumental in launching my career in medicine. Friday evenings in 1971-72 were spent sequestered as Dr Freeman oversaw us grading the organic examinations. He wanted all to succeed.

We are so sorry to learn about Jerry's passing. We always enjoyed running into him over the years and catching up on Montessori friends and the Freeman family. He was such a warm and genuine person, and we know how much you will miss him. Please accept our sympathy.

Sue, my deepest sympathies go out to you and the entire Freeman family on your loss. I remember visiting Dr. & Mrs. Freeman on our first trip to South Bend in '74. They were such gracious hosts.

Jerry was an excellent teacher, mentor, researcher and friend. He represents what is best about Notre Dame's Chemistry Department, to which he made many important contributions. He will be missed!

Dr. Freeman was my Organic Chemistry professor and advisor in the late 80's. He always took a genuine interest in my passion for teaching, and once I began teaching at Notre Dame after graduate school we had some very engaging lunch time discussions about challenges of college teaching. He was a kind and caring person, and will be missed.
