Jerry White

Born October 8, 1964, he was the son of Lois Kanupp White and the late Lieutenant Wayne Gilbert White. He was a supervisor at W.M. Frame for over 11 years and had attended Newton-Conover High School. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, son, and brother. His favorite pastime was spending time with his family. He loved fishing with his best friend, Johnny and son, Thomas. He also loved bowling at AMF Colonial Lanes on Tuesday nights, where he was captain of the Benny McGuire league and he loved his bowling family. Jerry never met a stranger and everyone who knew him loved him. He’d go out of his way to help others no matter what, whether you were running out of gas, needed a big hug, or just a shoulder to cry on, he was always there for you. He will be greatly missed but will live on in our hearts until we meet again. We miss you Jerry and will see you again in heaven
