Jasper White

I first met Jasper when I worked at the Harvard Bookstore cafe in the early 80,s.
Always the gentlemen in our working relationship. When I came to Jaspers in
the North End to bring a sick friend he treated us like royalty with his famous
pan sauteed chervil lobster. His legacy as the master of New England seafood
is only surpassed by him as a person. Rest in peace my friend.

I met Jasper my first day at the Culinary Institute, he was a standout not only as a chef but as an incredible person. My deepest sympathies to his family for their loss.

To the family, many, many friends, colleagues and fans of this wonderful man Jasper White fine comfort with you during this difficult time in your lives. Jasper White was a chef who helped put New England cuisine on the map as the owner of Jasper's and Jasper White's Summer Shack. We will Jasper White's presence and his many contributions to his community as a businessman. May the love and the special memory you shared and cherish with him show just how much your life was touched by him. May you find comfort in your wealth of fond memories together with Jasper White. May the God of comfort bless your grieving hearts with strength, loving kindness and peace as the world copes with the loss of Jasper White. He will be greatly missed, but not forgotten.

Jasper was in my heart from the very beginning of his work bringing New England seafood to the world. Living in NH, couldn´t not know of him...so very best pleased I paid attention! Just now, watching an episode of "Julia Childs with Master Chefs"...I was pleased to have the company of the 2 great Boston food-folks for a wee bit. He did the most gorgeous fish-chowdah & pan-roasted lobster...of course! Decided to check his "bio" & am so sad to learn of his recent passing. The world has lost a great & good man...Rest well, dear Jasper White.

It was a great pleasure to have his company with us in Portlaoise. He was such a wonderful man, a delight to chat with . During his trips to our house I will forever cherish. We will miss you dearly Jasper. May your gentle soul R.I.P. Sean and Ann

So sad to hear of the passing of Jasper. I cherish watching the Kids' hockey games with him. I remember when one of the players got hurt and he carried him out of the rink as though he was light as a feather. We think of you every time we go to the Summer Shack. My condolences to Jasper's family.

I loved him he was such a good friend to my pal Andy Moes and when Andy passed he opened up his restaurant in Cambridge. Such a loss as he was a wonderful human being.

Just after the James Beard award in 1991 when I had a restaurant in Halifax Nova Scotia my team had the idea to invite Jasper to visit us as a guest chef in support of a newly founded hospice program at our local hospital. I told them a reply at all was unlikely let alone what happened. Jasper readily agreed, flew up at his own expense, and prepared two exceptional seatings. Virtually all of the ingredients he wanted for the menu were local. Friends dropped foraged mushrooms to the back door, lobsters from a local crew. My wife and I were later hosted at Jasper's on a trip to Boston. Jasper treated our staff of young, homegrown Maritime chefs as if they were CIA alums, an affirmation which stayed with them throughout their careers. He was a wonderful, giving man and we offer condolences to the family.

His Father and I were good friends ! Kenny , his Father , had Jasper sign two of his cook books to me ! I treasure them . My family always asks for me to make his sausage dressing for thanksgiving ! Rest in Peace !

RIP Mr.Jasper

Condolences to his family

JJ my Brother, I´ll cherish our friendship forever! Love you and miss you terribly! R.I.P.

May the God of all comfort be with you. May his legacy continues.

Jasper and I met at CVS Fresh Pond where I worked. We became good buddies. My husband and I enjoyed many evenings at the Summer Shack and if Jasper was in the house he would come and sit with us, share a story and often send us a treat. He called me his CVS girl. It was amazing to see him transform with his weight loss. A truly amazing chef, a great buddy and I will miss him always. RIP Jasper! Love Donna C. Adams
