Mark W. Freeman

I had the wonder of knowing Mark briefly at Colonial Gardens where we enjoyed breakfast together for a few months before his death. But I am so much better for having known him. For the first time in my life I had stood on the shoulder of a giant and saw more of life than I ever had. Well done my friend!

Polly, I just want to send my deepest of condolences for your loss. I had your father in school and respected him greatly. Please pass on my condolences to your sisters and wish you all well.

I was lucky enough to have "Mr. Freeman" as my English teacher for two years in the 1960's at Glens Falls High School. He was a gifted teacher, able to overlook youthful foolishness and opinions while still able to steer students along more useful paths. He gave me my first book of the "Hornblower" naval series by C.S. Forester and I'll be forever grateful. That was certainly a piece of what nudged me on to attending the US Naval Academy and becoming a Navy officer. I corresponded with...

I would like to leave a message here for Polly and Patty. Thinking of you as I remember your Dad even though I would have been very young. (W. Notre Dame St 1960s) . I appreciated even then that your family had structure and people cared for one another. Wishing you well, I hope you remember Marianne Reichert at 63 W Notre Dame . I can be reached out to on FB as Marianne Reichert Reilly.

I want to add to my comment on Mr. Freeman. My wife and I are ardent readers and have somewhere in the neighborhood of 2000 books in our house and no TV. Thanks to people like Mr. Freeman.

While in Glens Falls High School, I had Mr. Freeman for English. There were lots of teachers there, but Mr. Freeman is one that I still remember. Thank you for being such an influence in my life. Because of him, while in college, I was the person other students brought their English papers to for me to correct the language, grammar, punctuation, and spelling. He helped me to understand. Perhaps I´ve thanked him by still remembering him and still correcting things I read. God speed, Mr....

Mr. Freeman was an outstanding educator and a model of the fine art of instruction. His insights and ability to convey the beauty of literature and poetry were an inspiration to his students. As a teacher, administrator, and college professor, I know that Mr. Freeman was instrumental in my academic and career success. There were and are few educators of his caliber. I wish I had taken the opportunity to thank him.

I love being in his classroom he was a great teacher I enjoyed our talks . ill miss you

A man with many talents, a sharp mind and good heart...I knew him through our shared teaching in GF and instructing his daughter, Polly, both a positive influence on many folks. Our condolences to his wnderful family. Bob & Carol Notari
