To Gene's Family, I knew Gene way back in the 40's, we played basketball in South Wheeling. Gene was several years ahead of me at Ritchie and Wheeling High and while not close friends I always thought the world of him. Great Guy and athlete. My family left Wheeling in 1953 for Calif and I was able to see Gene once in San Francisce when he was here playing for the Pirates against SF Giants. Really sorry for your loss.

Bill and Tricia will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Gene was always a friend of the Ronigers and Weavers; always generous; always jovial; always fun to be around. May these memories be ever present now and evermore.

Gene was a great person, ball player, family man and friend. I will never forget the wonderful memories
of getting together with Gene, Billy Martin, Mickey Mantle
and Coach Ron Maestri eating crawfish and drinking beer in New Orleans. Billy and Mickey loved Gene and our great city. We extend our thoughts, prayers and condolences to the entire Freese Family. He will be missed.

To the Freese Family:
I only knew Mr. Gene as a fan. I was only 10 years old when he played for the Pelicans in 1954. He was the best ball player on the team, and he was always kind to us kids. He always had time for an autograph or a kind word. I followed his career as I got older, and was proud to have met him on his way up. He will always be a hero to me, and he will be missed. My best wishes and condolences to you all...
