Dr. Morris “Moe” Freeman, for 17 years the manager of Semex
Canada, has died. He was 80.
He left the University of Guelph, where he was an assistant
professor specializing in genetics since 1969, to join Semex in 1974. Two years
later he was promoted to general manager and took the export business from $1
million to $47 million in annual sales by 1991.
He was athletic, popular among Holstein breeders, staff and
clients, and a staunch supporter and fund-raiser for the University of Guelph.
He suffered Alzheimer’s disease for 10 years. He is survived
by his wife, Ruth, and three sons, David, Michael and Paul.
There will be a memorial service in September. More
