WHITE, Mark Daniel
August 15, 1955 to September 10, 1999
It is not what he has, or even what he does which expresses the worth of a man, but what he is. The life, love and legacy of Mark Daniel White will have a place within the hearts of those who knew him. For many he will remain a luminous guide from above.

His tender touch was felt by more than his immediate family; from a firm handshake to a confident hug, he gave freely his support and guidance to all who asked. He had a deep empathy and understanding for others. He seemed to find the strength to help a family member or friend even though his own illness rendered him bed ridden. He gave a compassionate ear to anyone at anytime and offered wisdom and insight that seemed to transcend contemporary boundaries.
He is survived by his wife, Sydney, of twenty-one years. His loving dedication to her and for her can be seen through their six children - Joshua, Mark Jr , Geoffrey, Timothy, Amanda and Mychal. They will carry their father's legacy into the next millennium. He is also survived by his parents, Robert and Marion White; brothers Bob White and family and Paul White and family.

WOOLLEY II, John Jefferson
October 2, 1952 -- September 11, 1999
Our community lost a great person this last Saturday -- John Woolley. His friends and colleagues are deeply saddened and will truly miss him.
John was an enthusiastic geologist who enjoyed investigating the wonders of our physical world. From a small bit of rock, he could tell a story about the geologic past -- where oceans rose and fell, how the crust moved and cracked, what made the mountains rise up and where to find oil and natural gas.
He enjoyed sharing his vast knowledge of California's geology with colleagues, students and friends. He was an authority on the history and geology of Santa Rosa Island. John led many an expedition to study the island and bask in its incredible beauty.
His geologic expertise was matched by his ability to read a golf course and negotiate a little ball around it. He was a sought after partner and could always be relied upon for both sage advice and a critical shot. John had a pure swing that did justice to his uncomplicated approach to life.
We are grateful to have known and worked with such a gifted and caring person., Our hearts go out to his wife and children fro this sudden and painful loss.
From his friends and colleagues at Venoco.
