Harold Arthur Freeman, age 88, passed away Tuesday January 24, 2017. Harold was born in Paulding County, GA on July 19, 1928.

Harold was a talented “Mr. fix it”! From his early days at Lockheed Air Craft, he held multiple jobs across a number of professions until he evolved into auto body repair work and later into wood working. He became quite well known for his skills at rebuilding totally wrecked cars. He even once took two wrecked mustangs of different model years, cut them in half and took the remaining good sections from each and put them back together to produce a unique car that his daughter drove throughout her college years. Later in life he took up woodworking and built high quality oak furniture and made many flag boxes for veterans. He was a member of the Sweetwater Masonic Lodge. He enjoyed golf. He was a member of Hamilton Mill Christian Church. As a wonderful father and grandfather Harold gave freely of his mechanical talents. It seemed as if every time something broke for any of his family members the standing cry was call PaPa, he can fix anything!
