Richard White Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A proud graduate of William Penn High School, Richard spent over three decades working as a roofer before turning his passion into a business, crafting and sharpening knives. Known for his easygoing nature and sharp wit, Richard found joy in life's simple pleasures: tuning into the Military Channel, snacking on his favorite treats, and cheering on his beloved Philadelphia Eagles. A cold beer on a hot day was his idea of perfection.
Richard was preceded in death by his father, Richard "Sonny" White Sr.; his mother, Tina Weglarz Ragnis; his sister, Laura Mae White; his stepmother, Christina Lydic; and his grandparents, Bronislaw and Genevieve Weglarz, and Evelyn White.
His siblings survive him: Clint Green, Jay Ragnis, Charles Ragnis, and Josh Ragnis; and his stepfather, John Ragnis. Richard also leaves behind his loving fiancée, Bonita Andino, as well as a cherished stepdaughter, Nicole Ventura, and her three children-Alexis, Alyssa, and Noel-whom he loved dearly.
May his soul rest in peace, and may his legacy live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
A service for Richard will be held at the Corleto-Latina Family Center, 807 N. Union Street, Wilmington, on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, from 11 am to 12 pm. Interment will follow at 12:30 pm at All Saints Cemetery, 2200 Kirkwood Highway, Wilmington, DE.
