Dear Center St. Neighbors, I have such fond memories growing up next door to your family. I remember Mr.Freeman being such a kind and gentle soul. I am sorry for your loss of a wonderful husband and father. Please know he will be forever remembered when I drive thru the ole neighborhood reminiscing growing up next door to Bob, Ginny and family.

Hello Neighbors,
It´s hard to believe it´s been 50 years since we last spoke, yet even now I often reminisce about the wonderful times we shared growing up together. Those memories have stayed with me.
I was very sorry to hear about the passing of your father/husband. I still vividly remember seeing him come home in the evenings with paint spattered on his clothes-it was such a defining part of who he was, and an image that has always stuck with me.
Please know that you are in my thoughts during this difficult time.
Warm regards,
Tony (Boney) Ellerbrock

I remember Mr. Freeman painting at Marathon...oil based paint, no tape, no mistakes. Always willing to share his knowledge when asked. Such a nice man. My sympathies to his family.
