DONALD AASEN
LONG BEACH — Donald "Don" L. Aasen, 72, died Feb. 13, 2014, in Long Beach. He was born Oct. 23, 1941, in Hallock, Minn., to Ruth Marie (Anderson) Aasen and Joseph Irvin Aasen.

Don owned Aasen Manufacturing in Longview from 1967 until 1983 where he provided roofing trusses, doors and windows throughout southwest Washington.

He was a lifetime member of the Long Beach Elks, a member of the Ocean Park Moose Lodge and a longtime active member of Ocean Park Lutheran Church.
