>They will tell stories about him for ever.

>I'll try to make the as understandable as I can.  It was a touching 
>story from my area here.  I live 10 miles east of Flint, Michigan. 
>Fenton, Michigan is 15 miles south of Flint.  Port Huron, Michigan 
>is about 70 miles east of Flint on the Canadian border.
>
>Last Friday a tornado went through Fenton, Michigan.  Lots of damage 
>and as far as I know, no one was killed thank god.  A man in Port 
>Huron, Michigan heard of the damage done and jumped in his pickup 
>with a chain saw and some tools and drove the some 85 miles to 
>Fenton to help however he could.   He came across some people in 
>Fenton with a large tree blown down across their fence and against 
>their house.  He pulled his truck over and pulled out his chain saw 
>and started helping out.  They couldn't believe this was happening. 
>They asked him his name and he wouldn't tell them.  Except to say 
>his name was "Free" cuz that's what he was.
>
>A while later they were still cleaning up and looked over and "Free" 
>was on one knee trying to stand up and couldn't.  He suddenly fell 
>over right there in their yard.  And died!!  Of a heart attack. 
>Helping people he didn't know.  People who didn't even live close to 
>him.  People who simply needed a helping hand. 
>
>It wasn't until Sunday that they found out "Free's" name.  I wish 
>I'd have written it down from the TV report so I could tell you his 
>name.  Needless to say he's a hero to a family he didn't know in 
>Fenton, Michigan.   And his wife and 2 sons said he did these acts 
>of kindness any time he had the chance.  He died doing what he loved 
>to do.
