William B., Q.C. White
1931-2019
The passing of William B. White, QC, occurred peacefully in
hospital surrounded by his family on Saturday, April 27, 2019 at the
age of 88. Bill was born in Halifax, NS to William and Marian (Smith)
White. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by special
family friend Gladys Strickland who came to live with them during the
war.
After deciding against a possible career in hockey, the
defenceman known as « Big Red » graduated from
Dalhousie Law School and practised law in Moncton for 46 years. A star
athlete in his day, he enjoyed salmon fishing, which included expertly
tying his own flies, golf (especially with his three boys, who never
became quite as good as he was), bowling with his retired buddies, and
bridge. Over the years he was active in many community
organizations.
Cherished time with family was spent at the camp near Elgin
and a lifetime of summers at the family cottage at Cap Brule. He is
survived by his wife of 60 years Clarene (Avard) and three children
Bill (Joanne), Tim (Janice), and John (Linda); grandchildren Erin,
Bradley, Kela and Matai; sister Pam Raddall (Tom) and family; and
cousins Peggy Lockhart, The Honourable Paul Creaghan, and Gretchen
Coughlan.
The family wishes to thank the wonderful ICU staff
at the Dr. Georges Dumont University Hospital Centre, his team of
specialists at the Moncton Hospital, the many Extra Mural nurses and
therapists who helped Dad stay at home until the end, and in
particular our long time family physician Dr. Brian
Davidson.
The family will receive condolences at St. Paul’s
United Church, 404 Cleveland Ave, Riverview, NB (506) 386-3335 on
