Mr. Freeberg died unexpectedly on Thursday July 5, 2012. Son of Arvid and Helen Freeberg, Al was born on February 23, 1947 in New Haven, Connecticut.
An athletic youth, Al spent many summers employed as a life-guard in East Haven, CT. He was an All-State Football linebacker and Captain of his high school football team.
Al attended Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, MA. Excellent grades earned him a place on the school Honor Roll and he was voted Captain for both the football and lacrosse teams. Al graduated in 1969 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering. Although accepted into the Naval Officers Candidate program, Al chose to join the USAF as a Lieutenant immediately following graduation.

While stationed in Germany, the Freebergs welcomed a son, and then shortly after their return to the United States in 1981, they were blessed with a daughter.
Al attended the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey, CA where he received a Master's degree in Electronic Warfare Technology. Adding to his impressive credentials, Al also received a second Master's degree in Computer Information Systems from Boston University.
