Branford, CT, June 2024 — On June 27th, our Southern New England office came together to honor our late teammate, Rick Freeman, with a contribution to Connecticut Hospice in Branford. We organized a “$25 per Selfie” drive to support Rick during his time in hospice care, and his wife, Denise Freeman, who remains one of our cherished teammates.
Our collective efforts culminated in a donation of $6,250 to Connecticut Hospice. Four of our dedicated Esler Companies teammates volunteered offsite at the hospice center to present the donation in Rick’s name. We are profoundly proud to honor Rick’s memory and to support CT Hospice in their vital work.

Rick was a valued member of the Esler Cos family, and his absence is deeply felt. Our team’s effort is a testament to our commitment to taking care of each other and to making a positive impact in our community. We honor Rick’s legacy WITH LOVE.
