He was a great Daddy, hard worker, Christian, funny, lots of stories, poems and songs. I am proud to have known him and honored to have his untarnished last name.

Harry was the board chair at the Arbor Hill Church of the Brethren when I moved to Virginia. He helped me find a job at The Virginia School for the Deaf and the Blind 33 years ago. I will forever be indebted to him for helping me pursue work that has touched my heart so profoundly. Harry and Isabel were dear people. Heaven rejoices as they reunite. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I am an acquaintance of Rachel and I wanted to pass on my sympathies and prayers to the family. I was a concrete contractor in the Shenandoah Valley for 30 years so I have a fond affection for all who helped build the area's infrastructure like Mr. White did. Blessings!
