Condolences

Betty, Judy, Sharon and Jason, So sorry for your loss. The first time I met Whitey was many years ago when I moved next door and heard a help call from the Colburn garage. Investigating the situation I saw Whitey on the floor in distress. He told me to pick him up so he could get in the house. Knowing Whitey was in much pain an ambulance was a better idea for him. Well he agreed and calling the love of his life Betty was a must. Years later I learned Whitey was an outdoors person and enjoyed playing cards. I spent many evenings listening to his stories and losing at poker in his man cave with his family. Well Whitey your time on earth is finished and the angels and welcoming you to a poker game and coffee to sip as you are resting in peace. Your feistiness will be missed, but I knew you had a tender heart. Pat Finnegan
May you Rest In Peace Whitey. I will miss you so much and the times we played poker. You were a tough guy to beat. ❤️ Janice Gromosaik
