David James Freeman

The world was a better and more interesting place to live in because Dave came through. What a remarkable man and boss.

I wish I had stood up and spoken at the service.
I want to say that my father, David Freeman, was a good man. He loved his family dearly and did his very best for us. He worked hard to make our lives better than his was when he was growing up. He didn't agree with everything we did, and he wasn't shy abut saying so, but he was always there for us. If I was stranded, heartbroken, worried -- whatever it was, he would be a voice of reason and logic, assuring me that there was always a solution and everything would turn out alright. When I took a job as a lineman for the phone company back in the 70s, he didn't approve. But when I was failing at that job because I was scared to climb poles, he got a pair of spikes and took me in the backyard and practiced with me to help me overcome my fear. That's just one of the thousand ways he responded with practical, concrete help to ease my distress over the course of my life. I can't emphasize enough that he was a good man. He valued people over things. Twice he sold houses he owned to people for less than market value because he wanted to help the buyers have their own homes. He helped neighbors put on new roofs, build fences, work on their cars, help with their taxes, hep with their kids' math homework. I watched him patiently, faithfully provide care for his mother-in-law for several years. He liked helping people; he liked being of service to others. He made the world a better place for me, my daughter, and for many, many people. I will love him and miss him forever.

My condolences to you & family, Linda.

So sorry for the loss of David Freeman. Without his guidance I wouldn't be where I am today. He was the inspiration that lead me to join the US Coast Guard at 17 when things in my life were not going well. This action would enable me to enter college under the GI Bill. I will always remember David as a wise and intelligent man who cared for others. God bless you David.

Thoughts and prayers to all the family. May the strength of your family and friends help you through. He was loved by many and will be missed.

So sorry for your loss. May God hold you in his arms and provide you with comfort and grace during this time of grieving.

Great picture of Dave. A favorite memory was a group of four couples trip to Colorado - Dave and Sally,the Baileys, Fantinis and Taylors. We enjoyed seeing Dave at Tenneco events. Dave was a real southern gentleman.

We are so sorry for your loss. May God keep fast hold of your right hand during this difficult time.

I consider Dave as one of my Tenneco buddies. God has promoted his soul to Heaven to be free of suffering and pain. May God's peace and comfort be with his family. May those precious memories of times with Dave be preserved forever.

My condolences to the family. May God help you to cope.

So sorry for your loss, may the God of Peace continue to be with you and your family. (Romans 15:33)
