Read MoreBill was one of my two favorite principals, and I will never forget him. He was responsible for keeping me in the teaching field. I was ready to leave when he hired me as the kdg teacher at his brand new school and made my last 6 years of teaching a job. He is missed by many and remembered by many for a lifetime.

Mr. White was one of the best administrators, co-workers and friends anyone could ask for. My children and I have many fond memories of Mr. White and his welcoming smile. He made every student feel special. Our deepest prayers are with you all.

My family surely appreciated Mr. White! What a wonderful first principal (Fox Meadow) for our son. I recall my favorite part of every PTO meeting: Principal White's scheduled remarks.
With Sincere Sympathy,

A greater administrator or mentor there will never be. Bill White touched children and adult lives in ways that cannot be comprehended nor explained. He made the naughty good and the good better. Bill had the ability to identify one's strengths or weaknesses and really make a difference. He loved his profession and always said what an honor it was for him to serve as a principal. He was and will remain to be the best educator/administrator that will pass through U-46. I will forever be...

My sympathy goes out to Bill's family, friends, and co-workers. I enjoyed working with Bill at Ridge Circle in the late 1980's where I saw his tremendous love and compassion for children on a daily basis. He was a wonderful principal/leader to so many teachers, and had a special knack for problem-solving. He was fun, encouraging, and hopeful even in the midst of crisis. I will miss you, Bill. Thanks for the memories!

Our deepest sympathy to Mr. White's family. He was a very special man. My children went to Fox Meadow many years ago and I remember Mr. White knew each and every student by name. He was always outside with the kids when the bus delivered and picked up the kids without fail. It was also a TREAT to have lunch with the Principal! The students had contests throughout the year and the teachers also nominated students each month for the honor of having lunch with Mr. White.
He was a...
