He was certified to install septic tanks and drain fields, installing numer- ous systems in the Baker County area. In later years he used his water truck to assist the Forest Service in extinguishing many fires both near and far. Don married Louise Bohn in 1956 at the age of 23 and had 4 children. The couple divorced after 25 years. He then met and enjoyed the companionship of Hazel Berdahl, his sig- nificant other of 34 years until his passing.

Del Stone Richland, 1933-2015 Delbert “Del” Stone, of Richland, Oregon died on Friday, October 9th, Del at Meadow- Stone brook Place in Baker City. Delbert Francis was born on January 21,1933 in a farm house west of New- burg, Oregon, to Francis and Mildred (Cornwell) Stone. He was raised in the Portland area until 1943 then moved to a small 10 acre farm in Tualatin, Or- egon. He attended 3rd thru 8th grade there and gradu- ated from Sherwood High School in 1951 with top honors as a Chapter Mem- ber President of Region 3 of the Student Council Association of Oregon. Del met a “cute blonde” on a small neighboring farm. She “Doris” was in the 8th grade at the time. She also went to Sherwood High School where he kept an eye on her until graduation. Del claimed to have kept all the guys away until he finally proposed in 1953. They had five children together. During his Junior year, Del worked part time doing farm work. At the end of his senior year, he worked part time in retail at the local lumber yard until the fall of 1952. After his birthday in January the draft got his attention and he joined the Army and in February of 1953 and served with the 82nd Airborn until 1956. After his honorable discharge he had landscape, excavating and asphalt paving busi- nesses until 1969. Del than worked as an equipment operator with the Wal- lowa Whitman US Forest Service until he retired in 1990. Del enjoyed being an equipment operator and the responsibility and projects assigned to him at the Forest Service as well as the personnel he worked with. He also enjoyed a life- long passion of flying his ultra light plane over Wal- lowa and Baker Counties and would also take it with him when he headed South in the winter. His family will miss his humor, smile and his never ending generosity with anyone he became even remotely acquainted with. He was always there to lend a helping hand. We love you, Dad. It was Dad’s wishes not to have a memorial service but for a family gathering instead. He was preceded in death by his parents and a sister, Janice Sanderson. Del is survived by his brother Keith Stone of Hebo, Oregon, his children Debbie and her husband John Saylor of Richland, Doug Stone of Enterprise, Oregon, Donald Stone of Joseph, Oregon, Diana and her husband Scott Hol- comb of Joseph, Oregon, Donna Stone of Portland, Oregon and Doris Stone.
