My condolences to Davids family, he past away earlier this week after a short illness.
David was 83 and would have had his birthday in March.
A well known ‘local’ family business –
I remember as a boy in Coates – David delivering Meat and other groceries on his ‘Butchers Bike’ around Coates and Eastrea during the mid – 1950’s.
His father ‘Wilf Freeman owned the Butchers shop in Coates (Now the Chinese Takeaway),
He butchered his own stock and farmed local land. He also owned a number of properties in the area.
David rejuvenated the family Butchers in High Causeway with his two daughters.
Always please to say hello – he worked behind the scenes in the shop and still produced his own sausages.
Sadly to be missed – Goodbye David RIP
