In appreciation

Bobby Freeman died this morning. He lived in Falls Village. My daughter, 12, got an Instagram from Bobby’s granddaughter. My daughter Instagrammed back that her Dad and she were sad beyond belief because we thought he was a great guy.

Bobby had a terrific garden back of the parsonage of the Falls Village Congregational Church. He cut the lawn in exchange for using the land of the church, and he grew the best garden I’ve ever seen.

Requies this Cat in pace, our Brother Bobby Freeman.
