Memorial service to honor state Sen. Scott White
Saturday, November 5, 2011
SEATTLE (AP) -- Gov. Chris Gregoire is remembering state Sen. Scott White as serious worker who never took himself too seriously.
Gregoire said at a memorial service Sunday that everyone knows White could have eventually served in Congress or as governor. She recalled the 41-year-old's dedication to his job in the Legislature and how he enjoyed taking on challenges.
The governor was one of the political leaders who honored White during a public service on the University of Washington campus.
White died two weeks ago due to a cardiac issue. He represented the state's 46th District, covering northern parts of Seattle. He is survived by his wife and two children.
