Dr White was our family dr from 1958 to 1962 in Franklin park
He delivered my sister in 1959 at home when I was 15 years old
Our family was included in this miracle
We will never forget his kindness and Mary´s help with breastfeeding .. it helped my mom immensely
When I grew up and got married and had babies I became a LLL leader
Dr white was an awesome and compassionate and caring physician!!!!

Dr. White was my mom´s OB in 1976 and they were planning a homebirth for me. But labor progressed too quickly and he gave instructions to my mom and Dad to meet him at the hospital. He gave instructions in the unlikely event that mom gives birth in the car. And she did! Mom delivered me in the back of the station wagon while Dad was driving. Mom said that upon arrival of the hospital, Dr. White said to my Dad, who was nervously waiting to see if I checked out as healthy, "only perfect babies are born in the car." It might not have been a home birth, but a car birth turned out to be far better. I have not stopped moving since.

Dr. White delivered the eight babies of my Italian parents. My mother always spoke so highly of him. At my birth, he complimented her highly on her choice of the name Jane, "so simple and beautiful" he told her. Today I read his obituary and am astonished at his beautiful and amazing life. Dr. Gregory, I want you to know today that the little Jane you delivered in 1955 grew up to be a scholar, a ballerina, Chicago Columbus Day Italian beauty queen medical professional, musician, a neurology specialist, author, and mother of a large family. Two of my own children are medical doctors, all are professionals. God bless you for your kindness to my immigrant mother and all her babies so many decades ago! She got pregnant every year for a number of years, and received criticism from people who should have known better. I am proud of her and today I am proud of Dr. White who cared for all of us! P.S. The book I wrote was a Christian book about fetal development called, "How God Made Me"

Dr. White did so much for me. He delivered 2 of my 6 babies. I always left his office feeling more competent. Being a mother is hard work.

Listening to a lecture about birth complications that Dr. White gave probably years ago. What a gem he was, if only his wealth of knowledge and innate wisdom could be bottled for doctors today.

Dr. White was with me when my children were born. He came to our home to attend the births. He was always very calm and provided us with all the answers to our many questions. He introduced us to La Leche League, without which I would have been lost as far as breast feeding them was concerned.
Sometimes we had to wait in his waiting room for quite a while, our appointment time having gone by, but when it was our turn he always took as much time with us as we needed. So it was well worth the wait. Also while waiting we were able to talk with the other parents who were also waiting. This was a very informative time and enjoyable. After our son was born he told my husband that "now that you have seen this twice, you could do it yourself the next time." The next time was 15 years later and we were on the west coast with no Dr White. My husband did it himself. Actually, he just caught the baby and cut the cord. She was breastfed 3 years and is 29 years old now.

I just came across a Souvenier Album from the LLL 25th Anniversary Converence in Chicago. There is a photo of him sitting with my now 31 yo son, Graham, during one of the sessions. I am so grateful for all the LLL did for me and I enjoyed many years as a leader in GA and working as staff for LLL International.

Dear White family,
This morning, May 16, 2006,
I just learned of Dr. Gregory White's death. Please accept my condolences.
I remember meeting Dr. White, and many of you, at the wake you held in your home for Peggy. She was my college classmate and lived a few rooms away in Power Hall at Rosary College.
Years later, in 1979, I joined La Leche League. I was not surprised to learn of his support for the loving and gentle and well-educated women who are La Leche League members.
You remain in my prayers

I just learned of Dr. White’s passing. He was my doctor from my birth to my 18th year.
Some of the brightest memories of Dr. White
The very high windows in the exam rooms
His wild mustache
His aversion for unnecessary drugs…especially antibiotics (I did not have an antibiotic until I was 37 years old. I quizzed the prescribing doctor mercilessly attempting to determine if there wasn’t another way to treat the infection that I had. To this day, when asked if I am allergic to any medications, I always say, “Not that I know of,” as I
was instructed by the good doctor.)
The extreme tickle reflex I experienced when he would check the nodes in my neck
The COLDNESS of the office (My parents home did not have central air conditioning, and in the summer, when we would all troop to the doctors office for our school physical, we would freeze our little chi-chi’s off in Dr. White’s
office.)
That fish tank in the wall that always seemed to be filled with snails
That very reassuring smile poking through from behind his cookie duster
Dr. White was physician to other members of my family as well and the good doctor took time from his always busy schedule to attend the funeral of my grandmother. He said he had read of her death in the paper, and said that he came to say good-bye.
Now, may Gregory White and all who believe in Christ, find peace and joy in the kingdom of God.
Pax Vobiscum.

To the family of Dr. Gregory White:
I was very saddened to hear of Dr. White's passing. He was a wonderful man, father, doctor, etc., and he will be greatly missed.
As a La Leche League Leader (1977-1987) living in the Chicago area I had the opportunity to meet the Whites on several occassions. However, my fondest memory is calling during "telephone time" one morning after moving to Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Dr. White assured me that my breastmilk was a clear liquid, so I could continue nursing my toddler who had a bout of salmonella. My U.P. doctor was persuaded by Dr. White's information, and Jacob was able to avoid a hospital stay and the trauma of an abrupt weaning.
Our relationship with the Whites continues, as we now live in the Milwaukee area and are patients of Greg's son, Dr. Michael White, who delivered my youngest child 13 years ago as well as my two grandchildren in 2000 and 2002.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

To the family of Dr. White,
His passing is such a great loss to us all. It has taken a while for me to be able to respond. Many members of my family have deeply appreciated having him and his sons as their doctors.
In 1983, I made the mistake of having my daughter (by C-section) in a hospital when I lived too far away to go to Dr. White. In 1994, when I became pregnant with my son, I knew I wanted to have a VBAC home birth but I had heard Dr. White was no longer accepting patients. I interviewed seven different doctors who all informed me that I would likely, or most certainly(!) have a C-section for seven different reasons. Some were even ready to schedule it!! I called my aunt who had served as a nurse in some of Dr. White's home births. She encouraged me to talk to Dr. White. Dr. White took me on as a patient, despite his desire to retire. I told him my situation and he listened carefully to all the reasons why other doctors wanted the C-section. He alone was willing to give a VBAC home birth a chance. There was only one of the seven reasons that made him hesitate. When I did research and brought him in some very recent information on my complicated situation from the New England Journal of Medicine, he took the time and gave my hours and hours of research the respect it deserved. The other doctors wouldn't even consider a natural birth when they first heard my age and family history. Luckily, I had heard and read enough to know that they were wrong. Not only did Dr. White know his stuff like no other doctor, he was also on the true side of the patients, and was humble and intelligent enough to admit that he couldn't possibly know everything and was still willing to learn when new information came along.
Besides that complication, Dr. White was willing to let me stay on a non-insulin diet for my gestational diabetes as long as I followed his diet. And he checked me. My labor came a month later than the other doctors had guessed. Still he waited. Two days after labor started, I was told I could push . My 42-year old body was worn out by then, so we went through six hours of pushing. Another doctor would've just done a C-section again, but Dr. White just kept checking the baby's heart rate with his stethoscope and patiently waited. My husband said that Dr. White had his sutures in his pocket, ready for an episiotomy, but he knew I didn't want it, so he just kept checking his patients. It took a lot of attention. My son got stuck at the neck, then again, halfway out at his belly-button before he let us all finally find out he was a boy. He was a healthy 10 lb. 14 oz. baby and is still healthy and intelligent.
I've heard so many stories about Dr. White and they all tell of his amazing patience, trust, and knowledge. We will always keep him alive in our hearts. Thank you to all his family for supporting him, to his wife (for La Leche League in particular) and may you accept his passing feeling all the love he has generated through his life.

I met Dr. White in 1991 at the La Leche League International conference in Miami Beach, FL. I can't remember the session of his that I was in, I just wanted to meet the doctor that delivered babies at home. At that time my family was considering a move to the Chicago area. I had two babies already, both delivered by cesarean section. I desperately wanted to have my next baby at home. When I spoke to him about it he was very encouraging of my plans for a home VBAC and told me to give him a call if/when I moved to the area and he would be happy to attend me. We never moved there, but I will never forget his kind words that day. The birthing and breastfeeding community has lost a great one. My heart goes out to his family.

Dear White Family,
I am sorry to hear about your loss, but I wanted to let you know how greatful I am to have known Dr. White. He delivered me and was my doctor for seventeen years. In a subtle way, he was a great influence in my life. I had my own children through natural childbirth, breastfed them and only give medication if they really, really need it. Dr. White is the standard I use when looking for a new doctor.

Our babies were born during the years when hospital birth was almost barbaric...fathers were not even allowed in the labor room! Thanks to Dr.Gregory White: I spent my labor time for our first 2 children walking the hallways of the hospital so my husband could be with me; 3 more children were happily and lovingly born in our own home; I was told of and took the "natural childbirth" course presented by the wonderful Mrs. Gamper which made me able to have my deliveries devoid of ANY anesthesia; my obstretrician-gynecologist was ALWAYS available and never made me feel that I was wasting his time: I was able to nurse the babies exclusively for 6 months each and with other food for at least 5 months more when each went straight to a cup...no bottles to wash...milk always ready and at the right temperature; I could go on and on.... Our last baby was born 39 years ago!!! All our children know who they have to thank for having had such a happy beginning. None of us can ever forget.
Thank you Dr. White. Keep watch on us from above and give a hug to our 4th born, Nancy, who has beat the rest of her family to heaven. Hugs & Smiles, Nancy Kinnavy

One my fondest memories is Dr. White's relaxed and trusting nature. He calmly read a book and napped in my living room while I labored with our second of 15. He went out of his way to accomodate a home birth for me. At the time I lived in Palatine and was quite a few miles out of his normal range. He has touched so many lives. I send my love and prayers to his family.
Blessings,

Please accept my condolences on the passing of your husband and father. He was a gift to our time, with his support of natural births and breastfeeding. He will be remembered by literally thousands of grateful moms and dads the world over. His legacy will be impossible to guage, for he touched so many in ways that will be passed down to future generations. Thank you for all the times you shared him with others.

Dear Mary and family:
I have been involved with La Leche League for a little more than 18 years. Thanks to the work that your family has done, we have a much healthier and stable family life than any I could have accomplished on my own!
Meeting and speaking with Dr. White at LLL International Conferences has been a highlight to me. I remember just joking around with him at luncheons and feeling as if I was blessed just to have made his aquaintance.
God be with you in your grief.
LLLove, Elaine Shirron (Going on 13 years as a La Leche League Leader)

Dear Mrs. White & Family, There are not enough words to express our love and gratitude to Dr. White. For 40 years, he was always "there" whenever we needed someone to advise us, care for our health, or deliver our first born child at home and, subsequently, care for all of our children. We will always remember him spending most of his Easter Sunday in 1962 at our home patiently waiting for our daughter to be born. We thank God for such a special, loving man.

lThe difference Dr. White made in our lives can be seen in the lives of our grown children and undoubtedly will continue for generations to come. His example as a staunch Catholic, a loving husband and father, a family doctor par excellence, and a man who gave generously of himself will not be forgotten. Our heartfelt sympathy to the whole White family.

Our sincere sympathies and prayers go out to the White Family.
New to the area in 1967 and knowing we were probably pregnant, I just walked into a nearby doctor's office - that of Gregory White - and asked if he delivered babies. How was I to know the many ways it would change my life? I thank God for the privelege of having known him.

The passing of Dr.Gregory White is a great loss to all of us who knew him. I had many occasions to remember him with fondess.
Twenty-six years ago he helped me when my doctor wanted me to stop breastfeeding my 8th baby so I could take medication for high blood pressure. With Greg's guidance I went on to nurse Matthew to a natural weaning.
Attending every International Conference of La Leche League since 1977, I enjoyed a wonderful relationship with Dr. Greg and Mary.
Dr. White came to NJ many years ago to testify on behalf of Dr. Mary Slifer who was wrongly accused of malpractice in a home birth case. My co-Leader in La Leche League of Toms River, Chris Bates, and I were responsible for getting Greg to the airport after the trial. He treated us to dinner while we awaited his departure. Chris and I will always remember his kindness.
Let us all hope that the dream to promote healthy babies and happy families through his contribution to La Leche League will prosper and continue into the future. Written with love, Marie Nielsen, LLL Leader in NJ since 1971

There are no words to describe what Dr. White has meant to our family. He not only patiently waited for me to deliver, but returned more than once to get my son and I "connected". We named him James Gregory! Dr. White was faithful to His Master and what a "Welcome Home" he has. Blessings to you all.

I was saddened to hear of Dr. White's recent death but am reminded of the special way he was part of my family in the late 70s and early 80s.
My son, Caleb was born at home and was one of the first known, completely breast-fed children with severe food allergies in the local LeLeche League circle. Dr. White had a very reasonable and gentle approach to my dilemma. Unlike his associates who were ready, willing and able to subject my son to weekly allergy shots, put him on formula and told me I needed to stop nursing him, Dr. White suggested to dress him in white cotton, eliminate all known allergens from MY diet, continue to breast-feed him and keep things natural.
Well, it wasn't easy and it was a three-year project, but Dr. White was always there to encourage me, answer my many questions and taught me to not be afraid to do what I felt was right and today, Caleb is a healthy, well-adjusted young man who is serving his country on the U.S.S. Tennessee, Nuclear Submarine in the United States Navy!
I couldn't have made it through the trying times without the strength, courage and love of Dr. Gregory White ... his picture is still on our family wall where it will stay forever.
I extend my prayers to his family as they adjust to life without this very special man.

My sympathy to the White family. Dr. White was an example of all a family doctor should be. I am so grateful for his support for homebirth, midwifery and founding LeLeche League. His book Emergency Childbirth was mandatory reading for all of my clients. May you feel Jesus' love and comfort and His strength to help you through the coming difficult weeks.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of our wonderful doctor and friend. We were priviliged to know him from the time of the birth of our first child in 1969. He attended all of us, including my parents, sister, neice, grandmother, and all twelve of our children, delivering our last seven at home. Your family has been a role model for ours over the years, and Dr. White's philosophy lives on in the lives of our children's families today. We bless you and thank you for sharing this wonderful man with us. You remain in our prayers.

To The Family of Dr. White; My sympathy to you all .. Dr. White was a very special Doctor and I have been telling this story for years. On October 1, 1966 I was admitted to Loretto Hospital @5pm
for the birth of my first child...
for the next 3 hrs he actually sat with me reading his paperback book and coached me on how to breath.. I delivered a beautiful baby boy. I am sure he has touched others as he has my family. God Bless.

I was a LLL Leader for 17 years. I had five (out of six) homebirths and breastfed all. My daughter breastfed her child for three years. And this is all because of the influence of Dr. White. He is truly a patron saint for all mothers and babies, and I know he will continue to pray for us in Heaven.
With deepest gratitude,

Sorry to hear about your loss. Dr. White did a very great service for a lot of families. At a time when home births and nursing were not the in thing, he was there for us. He delivered five children for us and directed us to La Leche League where we learned the art of breast feeding. He will be missed. Deepest Sympathy, Shirley & Duane Sandquist

Dr. White was such a good friend to my family. He delivered 5 of 10 of my brothers and sisters (as well as being Godfather to 2 of my brothers).....He was with my sister Mary (rest her soul) through her entire illness and death....I remember him as being the "calm cool voice of reason" in any medical "situation" that my family had to endure...(he also((knowing how broke my mom was)) never asked for any money or payment for his services).
I am very grateful to have been a patient of Gregory White....I could write "volumes" about how good he was to my family

Dear family of Dr. White,
our sincerest condolences on the passing of Dr. White.
Thanks to him and La Leche League I breastfed all of my three children and had two natural births. The support and information provided were tremendous. This was almost twenty years ago and I was working to become a leader.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Surely Dr. White is now in Heaven with God. He was a man who truly made a difference in his life. We are very grateful to him.

Ray and I send our deepest condolences on the passing of Dr. White. We were priviliged to be his patients since 1959, and he went on to deliver three of our four boys at our home. It was a peaceful and beautiful experience each time.
Dr. White and La Leche League have inspired and impacted our family and friends in countless ways, and, I know, will continue do to so. We all owe our health and well-being to this man and his mission. He will be missed by all who knew him or were touched by him, but his legacy will live forever. Our thanks go to his wife and family for generously sharing Dr. White with the world.

So sad to hear of Greg's death. Not sad for him as we know he has gone on to a better existence, but sad for those who have known and loved him and will miss his physical presence.
Words cannot describe the inpact the two of you have had on countless mothers and babies over the last 5 decades. The two of you have had a major impact on my carreer.
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you adjust to life without Greg. God bless you.

To the White family:
Please accept my sincere condolences. I know you will miss your husband/father/grandfather/great grandfather/brother/uncle/friend greatly, as will the rest of the world who knew of his many great and selfless works. The list above would be enough for any man to be proud of, and the only evidence needed for claiming a life well-lived. But, as a La Leche League Leader, mother, NFP proponent, faithful Catholic believer, homebirther, and now aspiring midwife, I thank you and him for all his life meant to this world. I will pray for the eternal rest of his soul, knowing that my prayers are already answered and hoping to receive the blessings he will surely send us upon his triumphal entry into Heaven with all the rest of God's saints.
Most sincerely,
Leslie Payne

He was a gift from God to our family-we owe him so much. But now what a joy-Heaven will be his soon we are sure-we are praying to him already. Our prayers are with you and your beautiful family. Thank you for the example you have set and the untold families that have benefitted from your witness. God bless you. Mark & Linda Helminiak
