I feel privaleged to be linked to this man my great Grandfather and wished I would’ve had the pleasure of knowing him. My dad followed his tradition with mints at church.

Wow. That all brings a tear to my eye. I bet Armor would be horrified at what Turkey Hill is doing today. I bet he wouldn’t let you all get away with what you are doing. What are you doing? Check it out:

True love and joy from Mr. Frey through his obvious faith in God laid a strong foundation of excellence for the Turkey Hill Company. I would have been privileged and proud to have been one of his employees back then. How blessed we all are by his vision!

Armor Frey sounds like a very hardworking, devoted, accomplished, talented man. I hope he was reworded for all his achievements with a lot of tastey ice cream!

Mr. Frey was an exellent example of a godly man. And proves that just because you believe in God doesn’t make you a stuffed shirt. His family can be proud of their heritage.

To all those who said taking the Bible and prayer out of the schools really has hurt this country. It really is a shame he had to die so young. We have enjoyed many snacks of Turkey Hill Ice Cream in our family.

Wouldn’t it be great if every boss could treat their employees like Armor did. I don’t think we’d have the labor problems that we do now. A little bit of caring and respect goes a long way!

this is an inspiring story, but on another note, the July poll seems to indicate that there are a lot of us carton eaters. I can proudly say that it is easier to eat from the carton now that my parents have passed away.

Armor was a great man who thought of others before himself.I particularly like the part of passing out candy to children after Services on the Sabbath. I’m sure they looked forward to it each week.

Armor Frey left a legacy. I always look for Turkey Hill products when on vacation, and they are found in most locations. I also notice Turkey Hill products being consumed on situation comedies.

We as Americans strive to be hard workers; dedicated individuals that try to make a difference in a land where opportunity is boundless. To become an entrepreneur and being able to pass on a legacy from generation to generation is what makes America one of the greatest places to live and work. Turkey Hill is a prime example of this and what it means to come from basically nothing to one of the finest companies in the country through hard work, dedication, and moral values.

Those were the days of REAL simplicity. Hard Work, Leisure when the work is done, honor, integrity and love for thy neighbor.

I believe it still exhists in some form. May be slightly different these days, but I’d like to think that great men and women like Mr. Frey led by example and shared their wealth and perspective with those around them to leave that legacy which still exhists within your Turkey Hill Farm.

If only more people today were like Armor, the world might be a different place. He took pride in his family, pride in his work and yet appeared like a very humble man. A man of faith and love, who’s compassion seemed to over flowed in to every area of his life. What a gift, I’m glad to support great products founded on such wonderful principles and ideals.

So nice to read a little history of the Turkey Hill founder. Glad to see he understood how children can be in church and waiting for adults to quit gabbing(understandably!)! Good man, great ice cream!
