Leonard Dewitt Freeman

Leonard Freeman was a very loyal, helpful and caring person.  He would give anyone "the shirt off his back."  Leonard could make anyone laugh! He kept a smile on his face never quick to anger about anything.  He loved his family dearly always having a good word or doing a good deed for everyone.
