A ready laugh, a thirst for knowledge, kindness and a sardonic wit is how I will always remember you. The citizens of Frederick County were privileged to have you treating them. Godspeed Pappy.

Bill "Pappy" White - you will be dearly missed my friend. Thanks for all the great memories and laughs we had together. No matter what was happening, you always had a way to put a spin on it to make some humor out of it.
RIP Buddy,

Gretchen and Kelly
My heart broke for you when we lost your mom
My heart is breaking again for the loss of your dad
I first met Billy when I was 16 and thought he was a bit crazy and scary but grew to love him. Billy always said whatever was on his mind, good or bad, you always knew where you stood with him. Honestly like that is rare. Under all that crazy exterior he was good, kind, loyal and loving. He loved you both. Libby was the light in his life. It was my pleasure and honor to be a part of your lives. My husband loved Billy like he was his brother and will miss him always.
We will love you always and keep you in our hearts.

Bill "Pappy" White - you will be missed, my friend, my mentor, my brother in arms! As Paramedic partners, we shared both good and bad moments in time, but your infectious smile, your wry sense of humor, and unique outlook on life, created memories, and stories to share and carry your legacy forward. Well done, my true and faithful servant; now rest, brother, we'll take it from here. Michael "Macman" McDonald
