Kenny was known for his love of fixing things with duct tape and always having cough drops in his pockets and snacking on black licorice. The highlight of Kenny's life was when his son Shawn was born in 1965. Kenny and Marie received a call from the 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 Marie, his son Shawn, granddaughter Shelby, daughter-in-law Cheryl and her children. He is survived by his brother Aaron Freeberg (wife Cora Jean), sister Lucille Young (husband Brad), sister June Jochum (husband Leo), brother James Freeberg (wife Joanne), and his many nieces and nephews. Kenny was preceded in death by his brothers Don and Clayton Freeberg, and his sister Delores Snow. A special thank-you from the Freeberg family to Hospice of Kitsap County for their incredible support through Kenny's final days.

Joseph Aaron Freeberg

Longtime Lewiston resident Joseph Aaron 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) Freeberg. He grew up there with three brothers and three sisters. Aaron served 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 Sound. His job with Western Electric Co. took him to Spokane, where he met his 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 Western Electric Co. and evolved into what was U.S. West Communications at the 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. In 2014, Aaron and Cora left their family home in Lewiston and moved to the Seattle area to be near family, where they recently celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary. He is survived by wife Cora Jean; and children Diane Freeberg, Clay (Bertie) Freeberg and Marilyn (Barry) Larsen; and six grandchildren. He is also survived by brother James (Joann) Freeberg; sister June (Leo) Jochum; brother-in-law Bradley Young; and sister-in-law Marie Freeberg. He was preceded in death by brothers Donald and Kenneth Freeberg; and sisters Dolores "Dodie" Snow and Lucille Young. A memorial service will be held at a future date to be announced by the family. A special thank you from the Freeberg family to Providence Hospice of Snohomish County, Wash., for its support through Aaron's final days.
