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.
