Mrs. Freeman and Family, I had the privelge to work for Del in The Toledo Stamping Div. for several years. When Del came to the Stamping Div. he changed a place nobody wanted to work to a place people beg to be apart of and the envy of the entire Toledo Facility. I'm sorry I lost touch with Del after he retired but I can only say the many years we spent together was truely an honor.                                                       God Bless,                      Tom & Suzy Dudley

I knew Mr Freeman through my Mother, Bridget, who worked in the paint shop office at Jeep. He was such a nice man and had a smile for everyone. Sorry to hear of his passing. God Bless you
