HBA remembers
Darrel Wallace and
Hans Vatheuer
In Memoriam
In early December,
HBA Past President
Darrel Wallace
passed
away about a week af-
ter suffering a major
stroke. Darrel ’s wife
Anita had passed away earlier in 2012,
and his only son Tony had died of a
heart attack in his mid-40’s just a few
years earlier.
While Darrel served on the HBA Board
for many years and was President of the
association in 2003, his most indelible
mark for the industry was in the Street
of Dreams and in building charity hous-
es for the Doernbecher Children’s Hos-
pital. Wallace Custom Homes built in
the HBA’s NW Natural Street of Dreams
nine times, the fourth highest total of
any builder. The company won several
awards, including the coveted Homer
Award for Best of Show three times.
While they started building Street of
Dreams homes in the mid 90’s, it was
1998 when something really special
happened – a commitment to donate
proceeds from his Street of Dreams
house to the Doernbecher Children’s
Hospital. Done in partnership with
HBA’s Foundation, which was just start-
HBA lost two long-time industry
leaders in the last month
