Buddy was an Atlanta native who grew up in south Dekalb County when it was still rural. He was fond of telling stories about how hard it was working on the family’s dairy farm. After graduating from SW Dekalb HS in 1958 he entered the US Navy and served on the USS Enterprise. Upon release from the Navy he married Lanette Williams in 1964, started a family, and began a 40+ year career in the car business with the vast majority as proprietor of Buddy White Motors.
