John Delepine

In early January 1987 I moved from Wisconsin to Hood River to work at Dr. Wade´s office. John and Ivonne opened up their home to me, giving me a place to stay for about a month before the rest of my family moved to Hood River. John and Ivonne were the kindest, most caring and loving people! Knowing no one in Hood River I feel being able to stay with them was truly a blessing as they made me feel so welcome. I will always remember John´s smile. They were two great gifts to this world!

John hired my husband at Rosauers when we were first married, it took three interviews for him to hire him as John had standards and he coached my husband at each interview what to do next time, he finally hired him and my husband learned great work ethics from John and had tons of respect for him. A few years later, my husband and I had three boys and John and his wife showed up at our home in Odell with gifts for our boys for Christmas. That was so unexpected and much appreciated for our struggling family at that time. We are blessed to have known John though the years. My husband is still at Rosauers almost 40 years later. Rest in Peace John.
