Dear Bob, I will always miss our friendship and our dancing sessions at the Jefferson Orleans on Sunday nights. You were a good man. May you be dancing with the angels and enjoying your heavenly reward.

I just found out that Mr. Bob passed away. My condolences to the family. I met Mr. Bob at a Jefferson Orleans Sunday night dance 6 years ago. I see Mr. Bob at 12 noon mass at St. Clement of Rome. He would always call me and tell me about the JO dinners before the dance to meet him out dancing. He went to go visit his son every year in May. I will miss his sense of humor, jokes and his zest for life. Tony, Marie and Patricia from Jefferson Orleans Dance.

From the stories of your humor and your love of dancing and the sparkle I see in your eyes......I am sorry to have never meet you in person.
Although, I feel I know you, without every having meet, from the loving, exciting stories from your daughter Leslie. The Joy she shares of having you as her father lets me know you were something else and a real special character of a person. Looking to meeting you in spirit.
With Love and Joy,
and sadness of never knowing you...

I am so sorry for the loss of Mr. Bob White. I will always remember his great sense of humor. He frequently walked the Lakeside Shopping Center mall, and would stop in to brighten our day with a joke or two. He will always be remembered by the Dillard's fragrance and cosmetic employees.

thanks for all the condolences, dad was always and forever a good man.

Bob was a great sincere person took responsibility for everything in which he was involved..He was proud to be called a Man of Manresa for so many years. Loved his family as anyone can attest to..spoke of them with such love and joy. He certainly loved his dancing and took that seriously also. I am proud to have known him and feel sincerely saddened by l his loss. Our Cathedral Lunch Buch will be lost without him. Kudos Bob until we meet again. My husband both sang with him years ago at the St Louis Cathedral..what wonderful years those were.
