As Lisa's best friend, I was always at the White house since I was 13 years old and Mr. White made me laugh every time I was there. So many fond memories of such a gentle, kind soul. May he rest in peace with all those he has lost along the way. All my love to Siobhan as you remember your loving dad.

I often told John that East Boston was part of his DNA, he was so
connected to its people. Walking with him from the courthouse to
Central square usually took about a half hour since he was stopped by so many people to answer a question or offer advice. He was a
gift to all of us. May he now Rest In Peace.

I've known and loved John White since I was a child. I worked at the APAC with him in the 80's and he has never faltered in his support of the East Boston Community. I will miss him walking around East Boston, stopping to chat. God bless and keep you, John.
