Gerald Michael White, 63, of Trevose, PA, passed away surrounded by his loving family on June 23, 2023 after a hard-fought battle with cancer. A loyal family man, Jerry adored his wife of 36 years, Cathy (Widdop), who was beside him throughout his fight. He is survived by his two cherished sons, Jerry and Matthew, both part of his Eagles crew.
Jerry is the son of Gerald Francis White (Ethel) and the late Margaret L. Colosimo (Curtin). He is survived by siblings: Kathy Scott (Jim), Maureen White (Terry), Michael White (Elaine), Patty White Munyat (the late Nick Munyat), Chris Linso (Jeff), stepbrothers and sisters, Brenda Bianchi Isakson (Peter), Brad Bianchi (Genie), Bruce Bianchi, Randy Bianchi (Katelyn- Vaughan), and the late Charles Bianchi together with many nieces, nephews, and extended family.
Born in Philadelphia, Jerry attended Lincoln High School and went on to serve in the US Army, stationed in Germany. A proud member of Teamsters locals 107 and 817, Jerry spent countless hours both on the road and as a shop steward in support of his fellow drivers.
Jerry was a lifelong fan of the Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies. He was very passionate about his Eagles. He was a season ticket holder and the ultimate tailgate organizer bringing friends and family together to celebrate his Birds. Jerry also enjoyed playing poker and golf with friends and neighbors.
Everyone that knew Jerry will fondly recall his sense of humor, great smile and fierce pro-labor political convictions.
Above all else, Jerry was a dedicated and loving husband and father. The Eagles have lost their biggest fan and heaven gained another angel. He will be surely missed by all who were lucky enough to know him.
A funeral mass will be celebrated on Wednesday July 5, 2023 at 12:00 pm, with visitation beginning at 10:00 am at Assumption BVM, 1900 Meadowbrook Road, Feasterville PA. Graveside service will be held on the following day (Thursday July 6, 2023) at Washington Crossing National Cemetery 830 Highland Road, Newtown PA at 9:45 am.
We ask that you wear your best EAGLES gear!
