I first met Hans and his family June 2012, when my husband Henry was admitted to Deer Lodge Center. Hans was a gentle and kind man, with a great sense of humour. So sorry to hear of his passing. "Good-Bye my friend" - Posted by: Stella Robidoux (Friend) on: Mar 09, 2014

I worked with Hans when I was doing summer jobs at Holmgren's as a teenager in the early 70's. Hans had a great sense of humor, & was a good teacher. I am sorry to hear of his passing. - Posted by: Frank Winterer (Friend) on: Feb 02, 2014

My sincere sympathy to the family. I grew up in Sprague and lived across the street from Hans and Rose when I was a little girl. My mom and I spent many hours visiting with Hans and Rose and I still remember Hans' wonderful laughter! Although we lost contact with the family when we moved from Sprague, we never forgot them.

I would like to sincerely extend to all the "Espeland family" my heartfelt sympathy. May you find comfort in the thought that others are thinking of you at this time of loss. Hans was our neighbour in Sprague for many years. He was "one of a kind". He always had time to say Hello and always had a story to share. I loved his sense of humor and smile. - Posted by: Norine Buzahora (Family friend) on: Jan 20, 2014
