Dr. Frank C. Freer was freed from the ravages of Alzheimer’s disease on June 13, 2011.

After many years of being cared for at home by his devoted wife, Judie, and his thoughtful caregiver, Sherry Jacobs, he continued to receive loving care at The Lincoln Home’s Harbor View Cottage in Damariscotta, ME. After a small stroke, Frank was cared for by the kind hearted staff at Winship Green near his home in Phippsburg, ME. The family is grateful to their friends who spent time with Frank on his long and arduous journey.

Dr. Freer was graduated from West Orange (NJ) High School in 1950, Middlebury College in 1954 where he was a member of DKE and the University of Pennsylvania Dental School. After graduating from Dental School, Frank had a private practice in Mendham, NJ for 40 years. Prior to opening his practice, he spent two years as a Lieutenant practicing dental medicine in the U.S. Navy.

Frank was a lifetime member of the National Wild Turkey Federation, and of Trout Unlimited, Ducks Unlimited, The Boat Owner’s Association of Popham Beach, The Popham Beach Improvement Association, and the Coastal Conservation of Maine. He was an avid sportsman all of his life and in retirement especially enjoyed fishing for striped bass on the Kennebec River and hauling his five recreational lobster traps on his boat, the "Ready or Not".

In addition to being a sportsman, Frank was an accomplished skier and enjoyed the sport throughout his life with family and friends in Vermont, Idaho and Colorado.

He is survived by his wife, Judith Connor Faherty Freer, step-daughters, Lisa Faherty and Jenny Faherty of Colorado and Cindy Faherty of Maryland, daughters, Robin Freer Baumgarten and Barbara Freer Meyers of Colorado and a son, Douglas of New Jersey.
