Robert White Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
On Sunday, June 16, 2024, we said goodbye to Robert White, our loving husband and father.
Bob was born on October 30, 1929 to Edward and Susan (Schmal) White. He grew up on a farm in Virgil, Illinois. He married Beverly Eliason on July 10, 1948 and last year celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary. After farming, he became a general contractor and built custom homes. He moved to California in 1974 and continued as a handyman well into his 80's. He loved fishing and was always ready to go.
Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Edward and Susan, his 3 brothers, Francis (Bud), Charles (Tip), and Art, his two sisters, Betty and Leona (Thompson), and his son, Larry.
He is survived by his wife, Beverly, and his two daughters, Sandra (Hefner) and Judy, three grandchildren, Dawn Richardson, Jamie Craver and Jeremy Blain, eight great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
Services will be private.
