Sharon,

I will always remember the fine dinner your dad and Jill prepared at the farm, the peaches we brought home, the fig I ate for the first time there, your dad jumping in the pool fully clothed to save little Kevin, him drying out all the stuff in his wallet! Sharon...our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

We have wandered winding trails through lush Sri Lankan jungles...

We have climbed snow covered Patagonian peaks...

We have visited stately penguins on the frigid Straits of Magellan...

We have skied the majestic Rockies..

We have braved hurricanes on Hatteras...

We have partied in storied Charleston...

We have bathed blueberries before dawn...

We have shared countless San Jose dinners...

I will treasure those great adventures...



But most of all I will miss

Your devotion to family...

Your depth of intellect...

Your insights on subjects far

and wide...

Your sense of adventure...

Your genuine compassion for your

fellow man...

And...witnessing your warm and

abiding love of Jill.



As you launch this next great

adventure...

Soar on Wings of Eagles

Into the Vales of Paradise

Powered with our prayers...

Godspeed my Friend,

Frank

I WILL NEVER FORGET ONE THANKSGIVING DAY THAT YOU AND DR. WHITE LEFT YOUR FAMILY OUTING AT THE FARM AND CAME INTO THE OFFICE TO PERFORM A ROOT CANAL FOR MY DAUGHTER, SARAH. SHE WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN. MOST DENTISTS WOULD HAVE CALLED IN A PRESCRIPTION AND SAID "SEE ME IN THE MORNING:. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIS KINDNESS AND SACRIFICE . WHAT A WONDERFUL PERSON HE WAS.
