Obituary: Senger, John
He was born in Linton, ND on January 8, 1921, and moved to Spokane at the end of WWII where he met Frieda, his wife of 67 years who survives him.
He served in Headquarters Battalion of the Second Marine Division; was a member of the Eagles Lodge, VFW and the Holy Names Society at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church.
He retired from Carnation Co. to enjoy a long life of gardening, camping, fishing and following any San Francisco team.
He loved to tinker and could make something from nothing.
