Mr. Freeman (to me)... Wouldn't be fitting for me to address him as "Bill" in the same manner of his many, many fine friends would. You don't just call one of your Heros Bill.

We certainly weren't angels - But Mr. and Mrs Freeman (Peggy to most) sure are. Pete, Patrick, Bobby, Timmy... Bev and Michael along with the late Bill Jr., you are all in the Bakers hearts. God Bless. I hope to see you Saturday to celebrate the life af a Hero.
