Death and Memorials
White died in Boston following a second stroke. He was to have received the Herrick Award from the American Heart Association, but died before that honor could be bestowed. A memorial service was held in the Harvard Memorial Church the next month; there, J. Willis Hurst, M.D., a former student of White's, delivered a eulogy entitled "I'm Not Through Yet."
The United States Postal Service honored White with a 3ยข Great Americans series postage stamp on 15 Sept 1986. The 17-mile bike path around the Charles River in Boston bears his name.

Famous quotes containing the words death and/or memorials:
“Night is a dead monotonous period under a roof; but in the open world it passes lightly, with its stars and dews and perfumes, and the hours are marked by changes in the face of Nature. What seems a kind of temporal death to people choked between walls and curtains, is only a light and living slumber to the man who sleeps afield.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
“Our public monuments are memorials to the Enlightenment.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
