Jerry Lewis Fredericks

Jerry Lewis Fredericks, 86, of Salem, Oregon, went to be with his Lord on August 16, 2026. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. He sought to know and love others, speak openly and on a deeper, personal level, seeking to understand life, and his relationship to his Lord.

Contrary to popular belief of those who knew him in his younger years, Jerry was not born in a swimming pool, but rather at Good Samaritan hospital in Los Angeles, California, on January 26, 1940 to Fred and Diane "Cookie" Fredericks. Jerry grew up in the hills next to UCLA and in Brentwood, with his sister, Kathy.

Jerry's academic studies began at Brentwood grammar school, moved on to Emerson Jr High where he won the American Legion award and was graduating class president. At University High School, he was again elected class president. For his Junior year of HS he transferred to Black-Foxe Military school, where he held many accolades: representing his school at Boys State where he was elected as Mayor of Carson City, president of his Junior and Senior class, made Captain in charge of Alpha Company and part of the National Defense Cadet Corps. After graduating from Black-Foxe, he went on to attend USC to study architecture, but quickly realized that was not meant to be. He ended up at University of Denver with a bachelors in Business Administration. While attending USC and Denver he served in the US Army Reserves. A short jaunt to NYC to complete a Senior Investment Executive Program, then back to Los Angeles where he worked as an investment broker. After the crash of 1987, he opted to take a break, trying out other business ventures before going to live on the North Shore of Oahu, managing investment properties for a friend.

Jerry started his swimming career as a Cub Scout. He was accepted by Paul V. Nash, Brentwood swim club, at age 9, swimming his first major meet, in San Francisco, for the Far West championship. He went on to receive more than twenty National Jr Olympic titles, over 200 medleys and the Helms Award for Jr Olympics two years in a row. High School and college included competitive swimming and numerous national records: butterfly mostly, but also excelling in back stroke, individual medley and free style (All American). Illness prevented him from completing his goal to make it to the Olympics.

While on the North Shore, Jerry met "the one whom his soul loves" while she was vacationing there with family. He moved back to the mainland shortly thereafter to marry Linda and settled in Long Beach, CA. They moved to the PNW several years later to escape the craziness of Southern Cali and to start a family. Jerry loved being a dad, and was able to juggle work to stay at home with Jonathan, spending many hours reading to him, showing him how to draw, encouraging him to dig deeper, and throwing the football. He passed on his love of silly puns and a dry sense of humor. He never met a stranger, frequently coming home with stories of people he met at the gym, grocery store or local hardware store. His love of reading never waned: loved reading the mystics, philosophy and his Bible.

He was preceded in death by his parents and sister. After a long 10 year battle with Alzheimers, he leaves behind his wife, Linda Fredericks of 35 years, his son Jonathan (Reaghen) and granddaughter, Emma.

Private ceremony to follow.

Robert Barry Smith

Robert "Bob" Smith, age 92, passed away peacefully on August 4 at his home in Keizer.

Bob was born on October 10, 1933, to Thomas and Margaret Smith in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. His youth was filled with accomplishments, including being named the Canadian Junior Yo-Yo Champion at age 12, and the Manitoba speed skating champion at 15. As a teenager he became a professional accordion player and moved to the United States where he eventually enlisted in the US Air Force.

Bob served as a radio operator on a cargo plane during the Korean Conflict. Later, while stationed in San Antonio, Bob's charm, musical talent, and - as she emphasized in family stories many years later - vehicle ownership won the affection of Irene Marilyn Smith. Bob and Irene were married in 1955, building a family and a loving life together with their children Michael and Christie until Irene's passing in 2017.

After his military service, Bob's expertise in aviation communications was put to use as an air traffic controller. During his 32-year career with the FAA, Bob helped to develop the first computerized air traffic control system and served as a leader in PATCO, the air traffic controller's union. He testified before the US Congress to advocate for a national system of air traffic flow management, and rose to the position of Deputy Chief of the Honolulu Air Traffic Control Center.

In retirement, Bob's attention shifted fully to his great loves of golf, community, and, above all, family. He and Irene moved to Oregon where they could be near their grandchildren, to whom they gave boundless love and support. As years passed, their family grew and he relished his roles as Dad, Papa, and Great Papa. He was thoughtful of others' needs, generous with his support, and he displayed a rare combination of quick wit, compassion, and talent that made him a joy to know.

Bob was an active member of the McNary Men's Golf Club for many years, and enjoyed spending time with his friends at both the Keizer Courthouse and the Keizer-Salem Senior Center. His spirit and generosity now live on through those he loved. Those left behind by his passing will never stop wishing they had another moment to laugh with him; another improvised piano solo at a holiday gathering; another chance to thank him for everything, which he would deflect and turn into a question about how they were doing, and whether they needed anything else. Bob Smith gave all he could to those he loved, whenever he could, and those who loved him will remember him whenever they do the same.

Bob is survived by his son Michael Smith and his wife Suzanne, his daughter Christie Smith and her husband Dr. Robert J. Greybeck Jr., his grandchildren Amanda Watson and her husband Jeffrey, Sarah Fischel, and Alexander Tanguy, and his great-grandchildren Oliver, Simon, and Eleanor Watson. He also leaves behind Willa Porter, his loving companion in his later years, and her grandson Owen.

James Kittelson

James Kittelson, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully on July 17, 2026, at the age of 97. Born on December 10, 1928, in Bottineau County, North Dakota, James was the beloved son of Edwin and Mabel Aagren Kittelson. He was predeceased by his three brothers, three sisters, and his grandson, James Axel Kittelson.

James is survived by his devoted wife of 75 and a half years, Jenette Swanson Kittelson, with whom he shared a love story that began in college and was solemnized on November 19, 1950, at Willow Creek Lutheran Church in Overly, North Dakota. Their union was blessed with four children: Jamie (Randy) Rockwell, Jerry Kittelson, Jim (Lorene) Kittelson, and Jackie (David) Henderson. James was a proud grandfather to eight grandchildren: Rick (Laura) Kittelson, Randy Rockwell, Kristi Rockwell, Stefenie Kittelson, Douglas Kittelson, Michael Henderson, and Jared Henderson. He also delighted in his seven great-grandchildren: Cory and Molly Kittelson, Joseph Kittelson, Isabella and Mason Harding, Owen Rockwell, and Kayden Schueller. His cousin, Walter Kittelson, along with many nieces and nephews, also survive him.

James's early education was in a small country school where he completed eight grades. Although he did not attend high school, his thirst for knowledge led him to graduate from a two-year business course at a college in Bottineau, North Dakota. After his schooling, he served his country honorably in the U.S. Army from March 28, 1946, to September 27, 1947, and was awarded the World War II Victory Medal. He spent part of his service in Okinawa, Japan, as a stock clerk in the medic unit and was recognized as a rifle marksman.

James found his professional calling in the printing industry, where he worked tirelessly for 40 years. His career began at the Bottineau Newspaper and took him to the Itemizer Observer in Dallas, Oregon, Knapp Printing in Salem, and finally, the State of Oregon Printing Shop, where he retired in December 1990.

A man of deep faith, James was baptized, confirmed, and joined Trinity Lutheran Church in Dallas, Oregon, in May 1956. He was an active member of the church council and contributed to the Boy Scouts. He was also a lifetime member of the American Legion and participated in various auto and engine clubs, including the Brooks Antique Powerland. He spent additional time at the Square Dance Club.

James had a passion for collecting and restoring antique water-cooled engines, John Deere tractors, and old Ford cars, including two Mustangs. In retirement, this hobby became his life's work. He built his own shop and spent summers with his grandchildren at Brooks Powerland, where they delighted in the fruits of his labor.

Known for his playful teasing and generous spirit, James was a true jack-of-all-trades, always eager to tackle any task himself. His family fondly remembers his ability to fix anything, from unclogging sinks to constructing his shop.

His family shares, "He was a good father, grandfather, and husband. He was a strong family man and will be very missed by all." His legacy of love, hard work, and dedication will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

In honor of James's memory, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Trinity Lutheran Church in Dallas Oregon.
