I was so sad to here of Lou´s passing. He was my best man, when Clyde and I go married in 1957.
He was in the US Navy with my Clyde, they both left Belgrade together for boot camp. A wonderful man, my heart goes out to his brother Sherwood, my classmate at Belgrade High...

Lou exemplified everything that is good in a person and a citizen. The Town of Salisbury has lost one of its stars. They say no one is irreplaceable, but in Lou's case I'm not so sure.

This is beyond hard.
Grandpa - He defined "strength", a true family man & examplified what a Father is.
He's the core of our Freeman clan & always believed in the very best of every one of us.
You'll always be in my heart.
I'll always cherish the memories from our hikes, red hotdogs, to learning & playing with the pigs & of course, our love for Elvira.
Dear Papa Bear - I love you & will miss you forever. I am honored to have you as my Grandpa.
My heart is with all of you up North.
