It is with great sorrow that I just now learn of Dr. White's passing. He was such a great teacher who cared about his students and the subject of science. I will always remember him and his class fondly. May he rest in peace.

Thank you, Dr. White, for being my favorite science teacher. Thank you for talking to me many times after class and encouraging me. Thank you for lending me your personal autographed books and sharing your flying days stories. Thank you for being part of the best year of my high school years. I always looked up to you and I always will.

While I'm saddened to hear of Dr. White's passing, I can't help but rejoice to learn that he lived such a long and storied life. I learned as much, if not more, about History in his Science class as I did in my History classes! Always so friendly, with a smile and a helping hand. I feel so fortunate that our lives' journeys crossed paths, even if it was just for one year of classes all those moons ago. Godspeed, Dr. White. Job well done, sir.
Respectfully,
Lori Burton

There was no other teacher like him. I greatly enjoyed his science class, he had a way of making it fun but also learning so much. I have missed him since I left Del Valle.

Dr. White was the sweetest, most intelligent teacher I had through my high school career. He touched all of the students he taught. I have memories that I look back and laugh at and some that I love and make me want to cry out of happiness. I am so sorry for your lost, but know that Dr. White made an amazing mark on the world and I only hope he knew that.

Dr. White was one of the best teachers I had the privilege to learn from in school. He was always excited to teach Science and kept his students engaged. I loved it when he would show us Nova films. He made learning the table of elements fun. Dr. White was an incredible teacher that was loved by many students. Thank you Dr. White. Rest well Sir.
