I have just recently learned of Freeman's passing,and I am saddened to learn of this.I am a long-time friend of his family,and spent much time years ago visiting with them.Freeman was the first person to show me photos of the beautiful and historic ares of New Mexico. I have a great interest in history and archaeology and when I saw his photos of this area,I knew I would visit someday.When Hurricane Katrina took my home and the homes of just about all of my family members,I went to live in the "Four-Corners" area where Colorado,Utah,Arizona,New Mexico meet. Here,I visited some of the exact sites Freeman once showed me the photos of.I lived in the South-West in Colorado and New Mexico,and visited and relic-hunted and photographed many,many Pre-Historic Indian sites and ruins and mission churches. Freeman and his family were always very kind to me,and a pleasure to visit. I spent many hours at their home ,having dinner and exploring the Tchefuncte River with him and his brother Frank.Freeman had a unique, natural bond with nature,and I thought that he was a wonderful source of knowledge,as is his brother Frank ,whom I visited often.I offer my condolences to Frank and Kathy and their families as I consider Freeman and all his family as some of the finest people I have ever known and miss them.----From: GREGG GAGLIANO
Freeman lived a simple and good life that was filled with devotion to God. As I read the Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi on the prayer card, I thought about how Freeman had lived his life by those words. I feel blessed that I knew him, and that I belong to a larger group that could be called Friends of Freeman. I cherish the times that I shared with him.
My deepest sympathy to his family.

My dear friend Freeman : I only knew you a few short years and I felt such a sense of peace and spirituality when in your presence. You were created to do great things and to make a difference in the world. You had a unique combination of experiences, skills, talents and gifts. And, you used those gifts to serve God and to benefit your fellow man.
I learned so much from you. Our long talks about our faith help me realize that we are Gods creation: in his image and likness, and that He will help us determine our level of happiness and to gain His personal reward with him in his Heavenly KIngdom.
Now that you have left us, I always remember you with much love and prayer and I will thank God in every way for sending you to be my kindred spirit. I will miss your pleasant smile.
Now Freeman your life has begun of Peace, Happiness and with your Creator.
Not goodbye, but Peace Be With You.
Sincerely,
Ed Ansardi,
Oblate Of St. Benedict
I was fortunate enough to have Brother Freeman as my mathematics teacher while at De La salle High School. He had the ability to keep us interested in math with his personality,sense of humor, ready smile and great teaching ability. He had the gift of 'explaining' to the point where we would understand the how and why of math in the everyday world. I have though of him everytime I have met a good teacher, wheather it be in an academic classroom or a technical course. I will sadly miss him and fondly remember him. To the McGlothin family, my deepest sympathy for yuor loss, but have no doubt, we will all see him agaim.

Many times I wonder how I could have been so blessed to have had Freeman as a friend and a confidant. His radiant spirituality was with all of us. A week ago after Mass we sat on the pews close to the altar, and we shared happy, sad, and supportive moments. He always loved the little food gifts I brought him as he didn't like to cook, and he thanked me at that time for this. He was a wonderful spiritual man, and always listened to what anyone had to say, and never said anything derogatory about anyone. This was a blessing that really enlightened this time in my life. I thank God for Freeman, and thank him. He will be protecting me from Heaven above.

Our deepest condolences to Freeman's family. He was a dear friend, hunting buddy and mentor who will be deeply missed. Love and prayers, Laurie and Kenneth James (St. Paul's Class of 1985)
Condolences to the McGlothlin family. Freeman, for the few years I shared some time with him was always a gentle man. He enjoyed meeting with those of us who were interested in spiritual discussions. I am sure he now shares a beautiful vision of the face of God that we all yearn to see. Peace and blessings.
