Along with his wife Dolores, he owned several enterprises within York’s Wild Kingdom and storefront’s in York Beach, Maine.  His family went camping for many years in Bridgton, Maine and the dream of owning a campground led to the purchase of Heavenlee Acres Campground in Lebanon, Maine.

    I want to first send my love and prayers to Mrs. White, Debbie, Jeremie, Melissa, and Brian. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Mr. White was a neighbor, a family friend, and a mentor as a Police Officer. I enjoyed doing ride alongs with him in the cruiser as a Police explorer. He was kind, funny, very professional, and I learned a lot from him. I was blessed to grow up with Melissa and Jeremie as friends. I had a lot of fun in the summers with all of them at Yorks Wild Kingdom, going camping and fishing, and just playing in the neighborhood together. Such a wonderful family. Mr. White was one of a kind. I will always remember him and his smile. God bless you all. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.
