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!"

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.

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...
