Alva Freese and Dorothy Helen Rismiller were married December 3, 1941 at Kahoka, Missouri. The couple farmed in Lovell Township, Jones County, Iowa. Alva founded Freese Motors in 1946, a Ford Tractor and Implement dealership while still farming. He later branched into the Ford Automobile Dealership with his brother Louis.

He was a wonderful father and husband with an incredible sense of humor. Even at the end he had such a sparkle in his eyes. He loved people and being around them. Like Will Rogers, Alva always said he never met a person he didn't like. His friends and family made him very happy. He enjoyed talking about cars, loved to travel and play golf.
