Elmer Ray Freeman

My deep sympathy to Elmer's extended family for his loss. Our paths first crossed at the Boston College Graduate School of Social Work where Elmer focused on community organizing and planning. Elmer was an independent thinker who expanded peoples' understanding; and who used his subtle and unexpected sense of humor to connect with others. Later our paths crossed again, in his role at Whittier street, and as an advocate for health insurance coverage for those who lacked insurance. His move to Northeastern Center for Health Workforce was the perfect capstone to combine his academic, life, advocacy, and management experience to support others entering the health care field. Elmer earned deep respect for the huge impact on the lives of people in Boston, and on the countless students he suported at Northeastern.
Rest in Peace, friend.

Rip to the best Man in my life. I love you Uncle Elmer. Kwame

You will be missed my friend.
