Beloved physician, administrator dies
Upon completing his internship at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, he was posted to Patrick Air Force Base in Florida. After moving to Portland in 1961, and upon completion of his medical residency at the Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center, he joined Portlands Suburban Medical Group, serving on the staffs at Providence, Portland Adventist at Woodland Park Hospitals. At Woodland Park, he was chief of staff from 1971 to 1972. In 1973, Freiermuth, a widower, married Kris Scoggin-Bushor, who had one son from a previous marriage. Leo belonged to numerous medical groups including nine years as regional chair of the Health Care Compliance Association. He also belonged to several hobby groups, including the Horseless Carriage Club of America, where he was president of the Portland Chapter; the Gateway Boosters, where he was treasurer for 12 years; and the National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors, where he was hospitality chair for the Pacific Northwest region. He was a member of the Multnomah Athletic Club, and a 50-year member of the American Radio Relay League.
He is survived by his wife, Kris; sons, Lee (Rebecca); Ross (Thea); Kirk (Cynthia) and Jeffrey Bushor; (Keri); grandchildren Stacy, Morgan, and Jared Freiermuth; Melissa Park, Corey Hailey, Maura, Laura, Sabrina, Mitchell and Lea Freiermuth; and Olivia, Sarah and Malia Bushor; and great-grandson, Liam Brown-Bushor. His family expressed thanks and gratitude to the Providence Hospital staff, Providence Home Health, Providence Hospice and their Visiting Angels Tina and Karen for the care he received. At Leos request, no flowers; however, the family suggests a donation in Leos name to Providence Hospice, the Holy Family Catholic Church Foundation, the Grotto or any charity of your choice would be a fitting tribute to him. His beautiful China-blue eyes and warm welcoming smile will always be remembered. Kris Freiermuth |
