Willie White was a friend of mine for over 50 years. From the basketball playgrounds in Milwaukee,
to Chicago ( we worked in Chicago at the same time ), back to Milwaukee. Willie was one of the
most intelligent and sincere people I have ever known. Rest in peace my brother.

Willie C.U. White was a special person so many ways! Gifted, refined, fun, and compassionate. We were co-workers in Job Placement at Goodwill Industries of SE Wisconsin. He treated people with dignity and commanded it in return. He did not suffer fools!
I am deeply sorry for your loss.

Willie was an excellent band leader and performer. The best time of my entire life was touring Canada with him and the Hands of Time. Willie C.U. White was the real deal!
Our sympathies are with the whole family.
