My memories of Rich always include his wonderful smile & twinkling eyes. Whether a chance encounter in Amish Country, in Brecksville at the Red Brick Store or at a summer music venue – it always was a happy occasion! My condolences to Carol and the family.
Robert Beller
I have such good memories of Rich.
Our volunteer days at Pine Ridge CC, working out at the “Y”,
playing golf together, social get togethers, corned beef at Jack’s
Deli. It’s tough that he’s gone. My sincere condolences.

Always had a blast watching the Browns games in Sean’s garage. A true fan thru all those losses! Never met a bag of popcorn that he thought was too big. Gods speed Mr. White. Peace to the family.

I was at a family wedding in FL and discovered that the restaurant where the rehearsal dinner was held had a “jackets required” policy. Without even having formally met me, Richard lent me the jacket off his back. That was Richard White…always kind.
