Dear White Family, 
I just found out that Del passed away last month. I was so shocked and saddened to hear this. 
I met Del about 40 some years ago when he hired me to work at Sears in the old West Park Plaza.  He was a great boss and became a sweet friend all the years I've known him.  I loved chatting with him when I went into the Competition to get a new appliance for our rentals. 
He will be missed by so many people who had the pleasure to know him. My condolences. 
Mary Veatch and Paul Knudson

Mark and I go back 25 years with Del and Mavis when we were Life Teen leaders. They were so friendly and fun that we became instant friends. We shared many wonderful music and delicious food sessions with our church choir members at the White House on the hill(not on capital hill..ha)! I will always remember our seating arrangement in the chapel choir section...with Del playing guitar beside Mark every Sunday. Our family was so very honored to sing for Dels ceremony...Jen on the fiddle...Mark on the guitar...and me,sitting and singing in the BEST seat in the house...Dels chair...with a smile and tear, knowing that our dear friend Del had just received his wings...and I felt him with us ...singing and playing Gods praises!🎶

He was a fine Man never new a stranger ! Treated everyone one with respect .and knindness  a real  Christian !  His music was a big  asset to our choir, we will all miss him.  

Del and I go back to 7th grade in 1954 at St Joseph's Catholic School next to St John's Cathedral in Boise. We have wandered thru each other's lives the last 64 years always glad to meet and greet each other's families. A hard working, sincere and most faithful servant to his God, Mavis, and family. He will be missed throughout many communities. Del, when its my turn, we will see each other on the other side. Luv yu.

I was surprised and saddened to find Del's notice in the paper. I've known your family since you ran the Sears store in West Park Plaza and Del was a good man who was a strong part of the communities he served with both the Sears and Competition (Western Auto) stores.

I'm proud to have known him and want you to know you all have my deepest condolences at this very hard time.

Our condolences Mavis,  to you and your family.  

Reading Del’s obituary this morning call to mind his parents, how much they loved their son and his family. 

Bev and I have been truly blessed knowing the White family.  

Our prayers and gratitude Mavis.  God be with you. 


Our thoughts and prayers are with you Steve and Tina.

Much love and prayers to Del’s family and friends!  A wonderful, kind and the best boss I’ve ever had while working at Sears!  His generosity and kindness made such a difference in our commmnity and to many peoples lives that he touched!  Our sincere condolences,  Brenda and Dan Cummings

The big brother I never had. Best cousin ever. So many, many memories we shared over the years.  Most funny (after the fact), some sad.  Always there with support and good advice.  Wonderful memories of Del and Mavis’ trips to California’s Disneyland with grandchildren and overnight stays at our house.I will miss you always.  

Where does one start. Del was a special kind of human being,  one who truly knew the Lord.  He loved people and I, Vea, feel absolutely blessed to have been one of the people to know him long and well. He always made me feel special.  He loved to tell me that he checked Jim out thoroughly before I married him because Jim was friends with Carolyn, Mavis's sister, and her husband, Gerald,  before they were married. And, he'd been to Mavis's parent's house.  Then,  after we got married, Jim and I both sang in the choir so we shared more special memories together. Doing business with him was a pleasure because he treated you like family.  Del, we love you and will miss you greatly. Please put a good word in for us with our Lord.

Del saved our wedding by jumping to the rescue when our musician didn't show. He ran home, grabbed his stereo and his John Denver album and provided our ceremony with sweet songs. We will miss his smiles and warm greetings. We are truly sorry for the loss of your family patriarch.

We are so sorry for Dels passing. He was such a wonderful and kind person. We bought aqppliances from him a lot . Well keep you in our prayers
