I’m am so very sorry to all family and friends of Mr. White. I’ll never forget I has my head down on my desk in 8th grade . Me. White took his big ruler and smacked it on my desk and yell in his little voice (lol) DiGirolamo get up. He was a great teacher and person. This is the kind of teachers we need in schools today. RIP Mr.White all your students loved you

I had Mr. White as a teacher for a Business class. I liked and respected him. He said two things in that class that I have never forgotten:
1. Regarding betting/gambling: paraphrased - it's okay to eat the betting money, but never bet the eating money
2. Regarding playing the lottery: paraphrased - the lotto is nothing more than a voluntary tax that I choose not to pay.
Rest in peace Mr. White. You had a positive impact on me and, I suspect, many other young minds.

I had the pleasure of meeting Bernie (my husband’s Grand-Uncle) on the 4th of July weekend. It was my first time seeing harness horse racing and I am glad I was able to share in that experience with him at the Goshen Historic Racetrack. From the very first second I met him, he was very social, warm and welcoming. Everyone at the racetrack was coming up to him to say hello and you could really tell he was a respected figure in the community. We shared lunch at their place that Heidi prepared; and he enjoyed extra beers that I sneaked to him - to which, he had the biggest smile on his face every time I did! I am sad that I won’t have the chance to meet him again, but I am very grateful for the day I got to spend with Bernie. I pray his soul is at peace, enjoying a bottomless pitcher of beers, and doing the things he loved. Sending strength and comfort to Heidi and family.

Sending my condolences to his family and friends. I met Bernie from racing at Goshen Historic Track and knew how much he loved it there and the horses. He loved the Great American Weekend racing so much. RIP Bernie, Run free with all our racing connections.

Truly a great man, Mr White was a good teacher, and administrator. Other students were afraid of him, but I got to know him as fair, kind, and dedicated to the students. One of my very favorite teachers. Sending my deepest sympathy to his family, and friends.

Proud Bushman we were when we beat Maybrook and won the championship. Floats and pep rallies galore. and our farm boys turned football players for our 6 man football team. Bernie was our star player in the good old fifties!!!!!!! Rest In Peace Bernie. Had a nice chat with you at Noras repast gathering. Little did we expect this to happen!!!

I worked in various capacities for the White’s in my early teens. One of my favorite memories is watching big Mr. White interact with little Heather. It was adorable. He truly was a gentle giant. My sincere condolences on the loss of your husband and father.
