Mr. Freyenberger was retired from the City of Crainville. What he loved most was volunteering his time at Clark and Son Salvage. 

He would do anything he could for anyone needing help, never asking for anything in return. He enjoyed spending time with his family and watching the grandkids’ sporting events. In his free time he liked to mow and bush hog and once a month he and his wife Karen would go to the flea market in Du Quoin.
