grandpa...so many images come to mind whenever I speak your name; It seems without you in my life things have never been the same. What happened to those lazy days when I was just a child; When my life was consumed in you in your love, and in your smile. What happened to all those times when I always looked to you; No matter what happened in my life you could make my gray skies blue. grandpa, some days I hear your voice and turn to see your face; Yet in my turning...it seems the sound has been erased. grandpa, who will I turn to for answers when life does not make sense; Who will be there to hold me close when the pieces just don't fit. Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time and once more hear your voice; I'd tell you that out of all the dads you would still be my choice. Please always know I love you and no one can take your place; Years may come and go but your memory will never be erased. Today, Jesus, as You are listening in your home above; Would you go and find my grandfather and give him all my love.

I am so sorry to hear this. My sincerest condolences to the family. I worked with Van at HP and he brought so much joy and laughter to all that worked with him. After HP, we remained friends, when he told me he was going through cancer my heart was sad. I miss him dearly and hope he finds peace and happiness wherever he is. Rest in Peace my friend.

For those that did not hear his Eulogy. Kevvin was not only my Brother, but my mentor and best friend. Van Kevin White Born August 4, 1942 to Roy and Velma White Passed away October 5, 2009 He was 67 years old Laura’s Husband, My Brother, Our Brother, Uncle, Father, Grand Father and Great Grand Father. What a Man he was. In many ways he touched all of our hearts and he will continue to do so even in his passing. He is survived by his Wife Laura, Daughter Theresa, Grand Daughter Jeanine and Great Grand Daughter Hannah and let’s not forget his adopted family Brandy, Boots and Camby his Loving pets. He had an award winning smile and a laugh that was truly real. Something I will never forget. If any of you have never noticed, Kevin was always smiling in every photo taken. A smile that he perfected standing in front of the mirror as he never wanted his picture taken without one. He had many dreams left unfulfilled in his lifetime. I am sure if he was here today he would tell you to never let your dreams pass you by. But one dream he had, was finally achieved through the meeting of his Bride Laura and that was to Love and be loved. Thank you Laura! You have made his final dream come true. He was a dreamer, idea man and achiever in so many ways and always full of surprises. He could repair or build just about anything he set his mind to. He loved working with his hands and always willing to help family or friends out with any project that they did not know how to do. He was a brain stormier and could always come with a solution to anything when needed. He was a former reserve Police officer of 14 years helping to protect the community and environment that we live in. He entered into many police shooting competition matches and was an expert marksman bringing home the trophy. He Loved flying and the freedom he felt when doing so. I remember when he 1st got his pilots license and how proud he was of that achievement. But I also remember my fears when he 1st asked me to fly with him. He use to Love camping and canoeing and once did a 150 mile canoe trip on the Missouri river in Montana He loved old cars and custom motorcycles. He took a trip once on his old Triumph motorcycle from California to Texas to visit His older Brother Foster. He loved to ride back then. He was a musically inclined man, Use to play the Trombone in his High School band and could whistle a tune that was soothing to the ears. I once gave him a ukulele as an appreciation for helping me build an addition on a house and having never had one before within a week he was strumming out songs. He also liked to play the harmonica from time to time. I remember once at my house he pulled out that harmonica and started playing it. I am not sure what tune it was, but I can tell you this. The neighbors Cow loved it, as when it heard him playing, the old cow came running to the fence. When he stopped playing the old cow would stand a minute or two then would leave and as soon as he started playing again the cow would come back and we would laugh more and more each time. I will miss that laugh. He was raised a Catholic and was an alter boy when he was young in Boulder Creek California, He stayed with his faith and religion throughout his life. He fought the fight of a lifetime these last 2 years and always managed a smile when he could despite any pain and suffering he endured. He is my Hero for his strength and endurance and his love of life. Some might say that we lost him from our life. But in reality he has gone home to our Father Our God. His pain and suffering has been taken away and he has been given a life of eternity that lives on through us and his children and Grand Children. If you are ever in doubt, just look up and talk to him. He will be there. He is the newest Angel in the kingdom of heaven I am sure. While driving to Oregon I was having emotional problems in regards to his passing and my mind was not on the road. Kevin somehow joined me and sat in the seat next to me and comforted me for a part of my trip. Some might say I was imagining this. But I believe he was my guiding light and keeping me safe. The protection of one Loving Brother, to another. Kevin was a good Man and loved his family very much. But most of all he was deeply in Love with his wife Laura. Laura I know that Kevin will be watching over you and protecting you. Always keep your heart and your mind open and Kevin will be there when ever you need him.

My Brother, I grew up with you, I lost you, I found you, I shared with you, I cared, cried, and laughed with you. When we were growing up, I always looked up to you. I as a little/young girl was proud of you. You were my big brother; both smart and witty. I loved to hear you playing the trombone, it was music to my ears. I was so proud when the trombone section sounded in the parades and when the band had a concert in the gym at school....you were the king! One day you grew up and went away, I missed you; though, I did see you much of the time. Then again you moved away much further this time. Leaving a space of time (26 yrs) Then one day I came to be in a state where you were too. God willing you opened the door of your heart and let me in. From there we placed board for board and simply walked across the bridge (our bridge we built together) hand in hand, heart for heart together for as long as you had left to live. I felt your fear and knew you pain, I knew what you had endured and knew what was to come.I was there day for day to the very end. I closed your eyes, and said my good-by. My heart will forever treasureevery moment spent with you and remember every tear shed. I will never forget your smiling face, or the laughter you shared. I will never forget you, for no matter why your spirit has gone, my heart has made a home for you. When I need you, or simply wish to talk, I know I will find you there. I love you Kevin, my hero and my friend, Always, your sister Carol Anne

TIME Time is told by the faces we hold Ever so clearly we can see The path led by the ones we love So slowly if we trace each line We will know that each is a place in time Where either pain, heartbreak, or sorrow has been The joy, passions and Happiness lines Can also be traced are ever so slight Lending our loved ones face secret grace So hey, just to know That when our loved one finally leave us They leave us the traces of their faces To live forever in our hearts By Carol Browning (White) October 27, 2009 P.S. I love you, from Sis
