I miss Hayden, he was my mentor, my friend and at a time when all of us in the program, I was just talking freely with him when he stopped me. He pointed out that what I was saying was a perfect dissertation topic.

Think of the wonder of his kindness and attentiveness to so many people, think of all the students he turned into serious scholars, think of the wit and humor with which every day he made the sunshine warmer in an otherwise chilly world. I remember years ago a young Hayden carrying Julie on his shoulders. It was with the same love and caring that he brought HOC into being and helped make it the most important program on our campus and brought in streams of the world's best scholars to teach or study with his students. What an amazing man! May God bless you, Hayden.

Lidia and I remember Hayden for his wit and his wisdom with great fondness, and for extending his friendship and food to two wandering Europeans on the Pacific coast. Iain Chambers & Lidia Curti, Naples, ITALY

I only met him once in Santa Cruz some 30 years ago, we had a brief but enlightening conversation about "general figurality"; but his work was a major influence on my notion of narrative and my understanding of history since I discovered "Metahistory" in the late 70s in Australia. A kind person, an exceptional intellectual, a true democrat...

My mentor and my friend, my condolences to his family. He helped me to shape myself at a time when I needed it and I feel as if I lost a significant part of myself in his passing. God bless my dear friend, may he rest in peace.

I "met" Dr. White through his mind. And such a mind! And such a life of contribution to ideas, thought, and perception.
Thank you Dr. White.

Margaret and family,
Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Wishing you peace in an abundance of wonderful memories and the assurance that his was a full and vibrant life, much admired and well lived.

I was Hayden's student in the late 80s and early 90s. I adored him; I was completely swept off my feet. His arguments about the difference between chronicle and historical narrative inform my psychoanalytic practice today as well as my writing and theory. However, I hid; sometimes literally, behind sunglasses, and one morning, during brunch, Hayden asked me to take off my glasses. I don't know if he actually said that the eyes are the mirror of the soul or if I just thought it, but, anyway, I began to stop hiding. I loved his mixture of kindness and fierceness; and his teaching changed my life. Laura Chernaik, London England

The world has lost a truly noble man. Hayden White was a prince of the intellect: clear, upright and profound. A loyal and loving friend to the very end. We are diminished by his parting, elevated by his memory.

Dear Margaret and family:
I was so sorry to hear of Hayden's passing. I have many fond memories of the days when I got to know him when we were both members of the Humanities Council of Chairs. He was a
man of towering intellect who related well to everyone around him. He had the wonderful ability of defusing tense situations.
I offer my sincere condolences to the whole family at this difficult time.
In sympathy,
David Orlando
