William White Obituary
Bill worked for Georgia Pacific as a machine specialist for over 41 years, where he was instrumental in founding modern day practices and never missed a day of work.
He was an outdoorsman who enjoyed deer and turkey hunting as well as trout fishing; something he taught his son, Kevin, at a very young age. Bill also had a love for playing ball. He played on four different teams, five nights a week. He was the pitcher for the Oshkosh Ambassadors, the Konrad-Behlman Oshkosh Old Stars, Ratch and Deb's, as well as The Bar. Bill was also the Oshkosh Sawdust Days Clue Master and Button Hider for 25 years. Many will remember Bill as a quiet man, but also a man who always had the last word.
Bill is survived by his wife, Barbara White; son, Kevin White; daughter, Wanda White; sisters, Mary Lou (Peter) Kronzer and Cheryl (Denny) Dewing.
He was preceded in death by his parents, his mother-in-law, Katherine (Robert) Colburn, and father-in-law, Robert "Bob" Brickham.
A memorial service for Bill will be held at 2:00 PM on Sunday, June 28, 2020 at Konrad-Behlman Funeral Home-Westside, 100 Lake Pointe Dr. with Pastor Jon Wills officiating. Visitation will be from 12:30 PM until the time of service. Masks and social distancing will be preferred at this event. Inurnment will take place at Sacred Heart Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorials to the Oshkosh Area Humane Society would be appreciated.

Many, many years ago, Bill used to let me borrow his bow and I would shoot at one of two large archery targets in his back yard.
A few years later, Bill would chart the hitting averages by hand of all the players in the Sacred Heart Dart-ball league. There were at least one hundred players involved every Friday night; it must have been quite a chore. Just so you know, he was quite a dart-ball player himself. These are fond memories of a time that remains special to me; Bill was a part of that time - thankyou.
To the family, Bill has been in my prayers since these many years have passed, and will remain there for the years to come...

Billy was a Great ballplayer, teammate and friend. We have lots of fond memories including him wearing a long haired wig & "hippie wear" to my cancer survivor celebration. He was a Big Hit @ the party, as per his usual on the ballfield.
