For the next 22 years, he served his country proudly, retiring a TSGT in 1972. Freeman was somewhat of an entrepreneur, and always willing to take risks. He dabbled in a lot of things. Freeman loved farming and raised chickens and pigs. He was a whiz with small electronics and owned and operated his own TV repair shop. He installed satellites and was always ready for his next move. When not working, he enjoyed tending to his garden, and he never missed an opportunity to go fishing. Freeman loved life and was a great encourager to many. He cherished his family and will be dearly missed!
