I met Bro Jack White through the Masonic order only later finding out our wife's worked together. Bro White was a great historian. Very fascinating to listen to about history. Rest in Peace.

My prayers and thoughts go out to Coach White´s wife and his family. Coach White was my wrestling coach and a second father to me. He is the reason and the driving force that has inspire me to be the type of person, teacher and coach that I have become of the years. He saw the potential and greatness in me as coach during my sophomore junior year. What I remember the most about the most about Coach White is that he was very patient, loving, and caring when it came to his students and the people that he encountered. As a result of him pouring into me, I have inherited a lot of Coach White´s characteristics when it comes to working with kids and coaching.. Coach I want to tell you and I will always love you and carry you with me in my heart every day. I love you, thank you for everything, job well done. Now that God has called you home, may you rest in peace.

Coach White was a wonderful man and a great influence on my life. He was my football coach 42 years ago at Shawnee High School and he was the meanness and funniest coach all at the same time. he taught me a lot about football and life, and being a man, didn´t realize it back then but he was shaping young men while teaching football. I would never forget him. He was also our wrestling coach, and we had that year. RIP Coach
