An avid lover of learning, he graduated from Crestwood High School in 1964, Brown University in 1968, George Mason University in 2012, and he received several other degrees to fit the many roles he filled throughout his rich life. Bill effortlessly navigated being a Property Manager, Stock Market investor/consultant, CIO, Advanced Systems Engineer, Instructor, Researcher, Executive Producer, Thespian Director, Army Veteran, and Confidante. His most cherished roles were being a grandfather, father, brother, and loyal friend.

He is survived by his children, William H. White III, Lindsey White Payne (Bryan), and Nigel White; sister, Irma White; brother, Ellis White (Sharonee) and five grandchildren. He is predeceased by his parents, William Henry Sr. and Pollye Brabble White of Chesapeake, VA.

I am sorry to hear about the passing of your loved one, William H. White, Jr. We were classmates at Crestwood High School, in Chesapeake, Virginia, during the 1960s (the class of '64). He was smart and talented. He was the editor-in-chief of our yearbook and a member of The Omega Xi Delta Society. May God continue to bless and strengthen each of you, during your time of loss. (Dr. Archie W. Earl, Sr.)

My heartfelt prayers and condolences to my other son Billy and the entire White family. Bill and I were best of friends for over 40 years. We raised our children together in Texas and enjoyed many reunions together after he moved back to the DC/VA area.
He will surely miss old cool Bill
Family take comfort in knowing that God knows best and he will give you the comfort and peace that you need at this time. Rest well my friend
