Not sure what to say?

The best employer I´ve ever had. I miss him and give another heartfelt sympathy. If anyone goes to heaven, it´s Dr Halvorsen.

I have so many great memories of Dr Halvorsen. I worked there in 2000-2002 as his Dental assist. He taught me everything, patiently, as I didn´t know anything. I am so sad, but so grateful for his kindness. Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Karen, I just now read of Frank´s death in the Oregon Stater. He was such a special person with his calm wit and ready smile. He was also a good study partner-such fond memories of knowing him. And please take comfort and joy in the fact that his only listed accomplishment in his 50th OSU alumni book was "Married Karen McCoy 49 years ago, my best decision ever!"

I went to high school with frank Antares daughter Heidi but I do have some memories of frank

I´m sorry to read about Franklin´s passing. I was a patient of him for over 30 years. RIP Frank!

Frank and I enjoyed a wonderful professional relationship. I was privileged to treat his wonderful patients that he referred to our office for their endodontic treatment. He was an excellent dentist and a very fine golfer.

Dr. Halvorsen was my dentist for 20 years. He was such a kind gentleman. I send my sincere condolences to his family and friends. I wish you peace and memories filled with love.

My children, George and Anne, and I are so very sad to learn of Frank´s passing. Frank and Karen were one of the first neighbors we met when we moved to Hamblet Street in NE Portland in 1972. Heidi was about three, same age as my daughter and we all knew each other as friends and neighbors. They were a fun, beautiful family; and later, Frank was our family dentist until he retired. He was such a good dentist with a gentleness that I have never found in any other practitioner. He was...

To Karen--My sincere condolences on the passing Frank, who had the same birthday as mine. Certainly brings the shortness life home with clarity. I still remember fondly the fun times we had at your Mom's place in Linnton. Would love to catch up on any info you have on Karen Dawson or Carolyn Chase or even Mary Schaeffer.
