Freeborn, Leon A., 79 of Wahoo, passed away Monday, October 7, 2013 at the Saunders Care Center in Wahoo. Leon was born April 8, 1934 in Centerville, Iowa to Edgar and Goldie (Horton) Freeborn. He served his country in the U.S. Air Force until being honorably discharged.

He is survived by sons, Joe (Bobbie) Freeborn of Madison, NE, Greg (Loretta) Freeborn of Papillion, NE; grandchildren, Megan and Alex Freeborn, Andrew Freeborn, Rebecca (Jess) Pothoff; great-grandchildren, Ryan Freeborn and Bradley Pothoff.
Rev. Charles Townsend will be officiating.
I.B.E.W. local 244 offer our sincere sympathy to the family.
Joe, Bobbie, and family, my deepest sympathies on your dad’s passing. I wish I could have been there today for the service but didn’t find out until late yesterday. Your dad was a good man. He enjoyed hunting and having coffee at the Fairview.
I hope you are all doing well. If you are ever in Omaha, please let me know. Mary and I would be happy to get together.
Your friend, Jim Meduna
He had one more survivor, a son from his first marriage.
I worked with Leon at the gas company. He was a salt of the earth kind of guy. He was always willing to go that extra mile for his customers and was very kind and considerate to his co-workers in the Lincoln facility. I left the area in 2001 and after 22 years, I still remember him with respect and friendship. Please accept my most sincere condolences. He will not be forgotten.
