FRIENDS CELEBRATE THE LIFE OF FREDDIE THE CLOWN
One sad note at this year’s Chicagoland Show was the passing of “Freddy the Clown”. Freddy Crumley was a regular at the Chicago event for many years, along with his family, wife Gayetane and sons Trek and Ian. He died in his sleep, following a heart attack on the 29th of July. Friend Jeff Frank put together the card shown in our picture, which was signed by many folk who remembered him fondly. The other picture shows him with his wife in front of his motor home. Gayetane was as big a personality as Freddy. She always attended the show with him, along with Trek, who was a regular with his dad all the way up to and beyond his teenage years.
