“So long Dad and PawPaw. He was a hard-working, honest, man; always putting others first, choosing to see the good in others. Yesterday, Dad left behind a confused, sick world and was escorted into the presence of God whom he served until his dying breath. No more sickness, frailty, forgetfulness, pain, sorrow and cares of this world. He was a loving father, grandfather, husband and friend. All who knew him attest to his genuine character, moral fiber and hard work ethic. Your work here is finished. We miss you Dad and PawPaw.”
Mr. White is survived by his son, Michael White (Linda); daughter, Brenda Cloninger (Jerry); grandchildren, Angela Saturno, Brandon White (Meredith), and Noah White; great-grandchildren, Ashlyn White, Brennan White, and Sierra Saturno; sister, Carrie Lee Powell; and a number of nieces and nephews.
