Obituary: Louise Jane Plank

Louise Jane Plank

Louise Jane Plank was born April 27, 1944, with her twin Leila Jean in Anderson, South Carolina to Joseph Adger and Olgia Swadberg (Carroll) Chandler. She joined her sister Joyce in the family.

Daddy Chandler left for Heaven when she was only four years old. Her mama worked and took care of her girls and later she married Daddy Ralph Clamp. He passed away in LaGrande Oregon. Louise and Leila stayed with their aunt and uncle Beatrice and Arvid Johnson in New York State where she lived while Mama and Joyce went to LaGrande. She and Leila then joined them. Her Mama married her third husband Alfred Swadberg, whom they all loved dearly.

She met and married Rick Plank in 1964 and they were married on November 21, 1964. Their daughter Lea Jean was born (six weeks early) on September 29, 1965. While Lea grew up all the neighborhood kids played at our house. Louise loved the kids and made them snowcones in the summer.

She surprised herself that she came to love dogs, “Rivi” our little dachshund, and big dogs too. She got a kick out of watching the neighborhood guinea hens in our yard. She loved Mt. Hood and often said it is the most beautiful mountain in the world. She would get up each day and look out and look at Mt. Hood and greet the day.

She loved doing cards and crafts and even made soap at one time. She constantly studied nutrition so she could keep her family physically healthy and studied counseling to keep people emotionally healthy.

Louise loved Jesus, her family, and her church. She was a true servant and follower of Jesus. She took care of us, she wanted to, and enjoyed doing everything she could to help us and anyone in need. She and Leila cleaned the church building, and there were no taking shortcuts to get the job done thoroughly. She was faithfully at church every time the door opened. She loved kids and taught Sunday School and Children’s Church. She truly loved serving. We love her and she will forever be in our hearts and lives. We remember her laugh, her constant energy and loving and caring and serving.

She is survived by her husband Rick; her daughter, Lea Jean; her twin sister Leila Jean; sister, Joyce and husband Ray Sommers, and their children Julie Preis and husband Joe, and Lindsay Norman and husband Ted and their children.

God bless you all and be sure you know Jesus as your Savior and Lord.

Obituary: William (Bill) Frederick Ernst

William (Bill) Frederick Ernst passed away on August 18th, 2021 in Hood River, Oregon. He was 74 years young and passed away too soon, but his friends and family take comfort in the fact that he was doing what he loved - mountain biking on a beautiful, mild summer day on the Post Canyon trail.

William (Bill) Frederick Ernst

Bill was born in Portland, Oregon, on May 24th, 1947, and spent a significant portion of his childhood in Klamath Falls, Oregon. He also lived in Brightwood and Portland, Oregon, before finding his final home in Hood River when he bought the historic A-frame ‘Alpinee Hut’, which he has spent the last 11 years thoughtfully restoring.

In 1996, Bill began what was to become a successful career as a bronze-art sculptor specializing in wildlife, Native American-inspired motifs, and his ‘Racks of the West’ antler series. His work was of the highest caliber, and this year during his last trip to Jackson, Wyoming, he sold every piece he brought.

His great passion, mountain biking, started in the mid-eighties, years before it really gained the wide-reaching popularity it has today. Before it was widely commercially available, he was modifying his bikes with rear suspension and disc brakes. Through the years, he enjoyed many amazing trips with his biking friends all over the West - Whistler, Moab, Mammoth Mountain, California, and Winter Park, Colorado, to name a few.

**William (Bill) Frederick Ernst spent his final day doing what he loved.**

Bill was outgoing and opinionated. He was a lover of nature, animals, and an environmentalist. He had a truly unique, bigger-than-life personality. He had the gift of a great storyteller, and the stories he leaves us with are now so many priceless gifts to his friends and family that as long as we are here, so is a piece of Bill.

He is survived by his daughter Nicole, son Fred, daughter-in-law Charlotte, grandson Andrew, and siblings Greg, Richard, and Shelia.

He also leaves behind many special nephews and nieces, including Ryan, who is also a resident of Hood River and a long-time mountain biking companion.

He also leaves behind his best friend, Connie, and her son Luke, who was like a second son to Bill … and lastly, many, many old and new friends and more than one dog who will miss him deeply. The pain of his loss is not greater than the riches he leaves us with by having known him.

Please join us to celebrate his life on Sunday, August 29th from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, at his home at 1879 Tucker Rd., Hood River, OR 97031. We hope you will bring your stories, and if you’d like to email us any pictures or written stories beforehand, please email Nicole at meandryley@hotmail.com. Biking to the event or carpooling is appreciated. The event will be mainly outside, with an opportunity to tour his home and see his art. Preventing the spread of COVID is important to us, please be vaccinated and/or wear a mask.

Obituary: James Belknap Wade

Obituary: James W. Belknap - During the 30 years that Jim practiced medicine in Hood River, he and Jackie went above and beyond in countless ways in serving their chosen community. Jim learned Spanish so he could serve the many Hispanic families in the county.

Dr. James B. Wade

James Belknap Wade, a 49-year resident of Hood River, OR, passed away at his home, surrounded by family, on August 13, 2021.

Jim was born in Pocatello, Idaho on May 23, 1931, to Virgil Hopkins Wade and Anne Margaret Belknap Wade. He was the youngest of three children, with brother William Henry Wade being nearly 14 years older and sister Jeanne Adele 11 years older. His father was in the insurance business and the family moved around a lot. As Jim was growing up, they lived in Tacoma, Bellingham, Spokane and Seattle. [When Jim was ten he traveled alone by train to spend the summer on his brother’s sheep ranch in Montana. He was left in the care of his brother’s father-in-law, living in a sheep wagon with no running water or electricity, while brother Bill and his wife performed as professional ice-skaters in Cincinnati for the summer.] The family was of very modest means, complicated by his father’s near-death from pancreatitis when Jim was 11. Jimmy put a collection pot over the fireplace so friends could donate. He started delivering newspapers at about this time, getting up at 4 a.m. every day to deliver the Seattle Post-Intelligencer before school, a job that he continued throughout grade school and high school. Even while attending Reed College in Portland, Jim often had a paper route to supplement the income he received from working in the college’s boiler room in order to pay tuition.

In 8th grade, Jim met Art Ratcliffe, who would become his co-conspirator in all sorts of mischief, his life-long best friend, and eventually his brother-in-law when the two married twin sisters. Jim graduated from Franklin High School in Seattle in 1948, then attended Reed College in Portland where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Biology. During Spring Break in 1953, he met his bride-to-be, Jacqueline Frost, a senior at the University of Washington, on a blind date set up by her identical twin sister Jill (Giovanna) and her boyfriend, the previously-mentioned childhood friend Art. The two hit it off and were married a year later in a small family home wedding in Seattle one week before Jackie’s father, Vernon Frost, died of kidney cancer.

Jim went on to medical school at the University of Washington. During his senior year, he joined the U.S. Navy and welcomed his first child, Vernon, into the world. Upon graduation from UW Medical School in 1957, the family moved to San Diego for Jim’s medical internship at the U.S. Naval Hospital there, then to Bethesda, MD, where he took an intensive course in psychiatry. Second Lieutenant Dr. James B. Wade was eventually stationed at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center near Chicago to do psychiatric screening of new recruits. While there, second son, David, was born in Waukegan, IL. Jim transferred to the U.S. Naval Hospital in Oakland, CA where he practiced psychiatry until 1961, at which time his naval service ended and he took a General Practice residency in Martinez, CA. It was right during this transition that third son Andrew was born.

In the spring of 1962, Jim and Jackie were invited by Alan Henderson, M.D. to visit Hood River and to consider joining his Family Practice. He had invited them to visit on Blossom Festival weekend, which happened to be both brilliantly sunny and windless – and he assured them that Hood River was always just like that. They believed him and, in August of 1962, on a cold, rainy, windy day they drove into Hood River to take up residency. In addition to discovering the truth about Hood River’s very windy weather, Jim also quickly learned that he would be working as the county’s medical examiner in addition to his family practice. The first call he went on as coroner was for a murder-suicide. (Welcome to Hood River, Dr. Wade!)

During the 30 years that Jim practiced medicine in Hood River, he and Jackie went above and beyond in countless ways in serving their chosen community. Jim learned Spanish so he could serve the many Hispanic families in the county. He willingly bartered with anyone who was unable to pay in cash and developed a number of close friendships over the years as a result. In 2019, he was presented with an award from Radio Tierra thanking him for his many years of service to the Latinx community. Jim was instrumental in establishing a Hospice program in Hood River, serving as the first Medical Director for Hospice of the Gorge until 2000, eight years after he’d retired from his medical practice. Jim also started the Hood River yacht club, served as Hood River Port Commissioner in the 1970’s, and was active with his boys in Boy Scouts.

Together Jim and Jackie were avid world travelers, visiting 53 countries over the years. They also loved sailing, taking numerous week-long sailing trips with their three boys, and were enthusiastic skiers. They were long-time members of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church when their children were growing up and later became active at Riverside Community Church, where Jim sang in the choir for many years, having been drawn there by an invitation from Jim’s Community Ed voice teacher. He loved to sing and would burst out in song at the slightest encouragement.

He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Jackie, whom he adored till his last breath; his children, of whom he was incredibly proud: Vernon Wade and his wife Amy Wheeler of Odell, Dr. David Wade and his wife Kellie (Fowler) Wade of Hood River, and Rev. Andrew Wade and his wife Susan (Herzog) Wade of Hood River; his precious grandchildren: Samantha Bredemeier, Bridget Kirkwood, Jonathan Wade and Nicholas Wade; and three great-grandchildren: Ezra and Carter Bredemeier, and Kyra Wade. He leaves behind many nieces and nephews, grand-nieces and nephews, and a large contingent of cherished friends, grateful patients, and community members who deeply appreciate his many contributions to their lives.

The family will hold a small private memorial service in the near future. A larger celebration of life for friends and extended family will be held later when COVID conditions allow for safe gatherings. In the meantime, the family encourages memorial contributions to Providence Hospice of the Gorge or Riverside Community Church in Jim’s honor.
