RIP Mr.White 

Mr. White, you were such a good guidance counselor. You helped many of us believe in ourselves.  Thank-you so much. You are missed. R.I.P.

My heartfelt condolences to all family and friends. It’s been 15 years since I graduated from Caledonia Jr. High, and still it remains — Mr. White was among the most influential leaders to grace the halls of that school. He had a way of breaking your problems down, helping you find the small wins, and was always in your corner — pushing students to tap into their best selves. He has been referenced  many a times over the years as my friends and I reminisce of those adolescent years, always sparking a laugh and a smile. No doubt, the same will carry forward for all who have known him as his spirit lives on. 

I'm so sorry for your loss. Mr. White was the best teacher and guidance counselor I had at Caledonia. I have great memories and so thankful for all the help he gave me when I was going though some tough times.

My condolences to Mr. Whites' family. He was a sweet man. I could write a book about the many things he helped me accomplish and get through in my journey at Caledonia Jr. High School. Mr. White will be deeply missed😩. Rest In Paradise Mr. White❤❤❤❤🙏🏾

I Remember walking past Mr white in the hallway everyday and wether it was good or a hard day he was just so genuine and there for the students. A great role model and would always give you a great laugh and put a smile on anyones face. My condolences to the family he will be missed by many but the wonderful memories of him and the difference he made in many peoples lives will live on. Thank you for everything Mr White XO R.I.P

My condolences to Mr.White’s family and close friends. Mr.White really stood out as a teacher and guidance counsellor, lol I remember always being in his office and he would look at me and say “Teena.., why everytime your in my office complain and in trouble? Gal there is a lot for you to do and you will accomplish a lot. Big tings are going to happen for you”. With that I just blew it off and didn’t believe. That was in 2000, now it’s 2019 and I’m working on having my own business and furthering my education. God bless and I will really miss this man! He was one in a million! Rest easy Mr.White 🙏🏾

Donny and I want to express our condolences to Mel’s family, our amazing neighbours. We are sincerely sorry for your loss and are here for you at this sad time. Losing a parent is so incredibly difficult, Leona and Philip. We are so sorry for you and for your entire family.
