become his friend. Kenny had a special love of dogs, he had many
over his lifetime. Kenny was noted for his big beautiful smile
and striking good looks. Kenny enjoyed finding treasures at
garage sales, he loved the old-time electronic items and phones.
Kenny was known for his love of fixing things with duct tape and

doctor announcing the good news that there was a baby boy to
bring home and love. Shawn blessed them with their only
grandchild, Shelby Marie, in 2001. Kenny is survived by his wife

Freeberg, 90, passed away Saturday, July 11, 2015. Aaron was born in Arbor
Heights, West Seattle, and was the son of Joseph and Florence (Schliesman)

in the U.S. Navy during World War II on the submarines USS Guardfish (SS-217)
and the USS Trutta (SS-421), where he was assigned to the torpedoes. After the
war he worked various jobs, including being a deckhand on a tugboat in Puget

wife, Cora Jean Rogers. They were married in 1951. His job next took him and his
wife to Lewiston, where he built their house. They lived there for 60 years,
raising three children. Aaron retired after a 44-year career that began with

time of his retirement. Forty of those years were spent as a communications
technician in Lewiston, where he maintained the remote long-distance calling
stations from Pomeroy and Colfax to Grangeville and Lewiston. After retirement,
he enjoyed his daily long walks on the dike along the Snake River. In the
evenings he would relax with his crossword puzzles and many games of solitaire.
