Ronald A. Freeman

Just saw this obituary for Mr. Freeman. I would like to say how deeply indebted I am to him. I was discharged from the Marine Corps in 1968 and was directionless with little idea of what I could do. I randomly applied for a office boy job at Staunton and Freeman, 101 Park Avenue, NY. Ron interviewed me and offered the job. Over the next few years I was encouraged to pursue engineering. Ron and Lenny Jackson answered questions and pushed me to get more involved in ever increasing...

Ron was the consummate professional when supporting my IBM projects. We also spent some time talking about trains and his model railroad which was impressive. We spoke last year and talked of having a burger together “post covid” so sad to see this news rest in peace Ron.

Ron will always be at the top of the list of people that I consider as both a friend and a mentor, that i am greatly thankful for having had the opportunity to know. I was introduced to Ron as the "engineer" our company was working for on the IBM Somers water supply in the early 1980's. However, almost immediately, Ron made me feel more like a RAFA team member and not just a subcontractor. From that point on Ron became one of my mentors and included me on numerous other water-supply projects...

Working for Ron was a great priviledge. The list of "whys" is very very long. Ron and Ruth were great friends and mentors to many of us. We do miss them. Love to all!

Your parents will always have a special place in my heart and in my childhood memories. Love to you all.

thanks for being the nicest neighbors!

Hi Diana and Brad and Michael and Cheryl,
I remember the annual Christmas parties at one of Ron’s favorite Chinese restaurants in Mt Kisco. (I think it no longer exists)
I remember Ron’s train set.
I remember Ron, as one of the nicest, kindest persons.
Whenever with friends, and somehow the subject of Sarka’s first job in the US comes up, she always brags about how her boss would daily, at 9am ask her how would she like her tea (milk? sugar?, not sure if she was offered...

My sincere condolences to his family. I used to work at the dentist that he went to. He and his wife were just a beautiful couple. Cherish the memories. Know that he touched a lot of people with his kindness.
