Richard "Dick" White

You left an amazing and important trail as you ran through life and enriched the lives you touched.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Prof. White enabled my graduate studies by his guidance and support. His guidance encouraged and inspired individual creativity. He extended the warm hospitality of his family to a lonely and poor foreign student. Through the years on various occasions I kept contact with him and got to know his, not so easily visible but all the same deeply emotional nature. It was always a comfort to know that he is always there and reachable as a reference point in one's life.
When my brother came...

Prof. White is truly a scholar and a gentleman, who exemplifies the quality of UC Berkeley.

Dick was an old friend of our family and long-time mentor of my father in the engineering field. Given this close relationship, the two of them met when travel and opportunities allowed, despite thousands of miles separating them. Dick was a very welcome guest at my Lutheran Church confirmation in Norway as well as my wedding in Oregon many years later, and his intelligence and wit were always a joy. My wife and I extend our sincere condolences to Dick’s family and loved ones.
