He was a dedicated member of the United States Marine Corps for four years, faithfully served his country during the Korean War, eventually rising to the rank of sergeant.

Tom was preceded in death by his loving wife, Ginger. He is survived by his two sons, Thomas White (Vanessa) and Michael White (Tracie). Along with his 11 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his best friend of many years, Pete Maust.
Tom had a passion for his work, his family, and always chasing the next great memory. He never let age slow him down- his heart stayed young, full of mischief, laughter, and the joy of living.
As per his wishes, no funeral service will be held. He asked that he be remembered for his boundless energy, vibrant personality, and enthusiasm for life.

I have wonderful memories of Mr. White. He would tell me all about his many adventures. He would be leaving to go out from the facility with one of his children and tell me how much fun he was going to have. I will never forget him wearing his cowboy boots and black cowboy hat and telling me how he had been out dancing the night before. He was such a wonderful man. I know he will be missed by his entire family. I send my condolences to you all.

I have many great memories of Tom during the Murphy Brothers era. He was on every job with the “John Cudo spread” and was liked by everyone. He was soft spoken but funny and very kind to everyone. I enjoyed being around him! I’m sure all those pipeliners in heaven are hanging out and telling stories. I feel blessed to have known him! Rest in peace Tom.

I worked a lot with Tom on a lot of jobs in the early 90s. We had so much fun. I can’t tell you how many great memories I have with the man and what I owe him for teaching me a trade that I did so good at I love and missing for the rest of my life. My condolences for both your boys. I loved him and I love you too.
