Obituary
Augusta, GA – Harold Bane White entered Heaven's gate on June 13th, 2017 at 5:15 pm. He was born on July 17th, 1932 in Georgetown, Kentucky to William and Clara White. He was the last born and the last to die of 10 children.
Harold faithfully served his country in the US Army for 22 years and as a civilian employee for the military for 20 years. He retired in 1995 to become full-time "Pop" to his grandchildren and faithful member of Lakemont Presbyterian Church. All things Kentucky delighted him, as well as gardening, raising birds, and a good long conversation. Some of his last words were praise: The Lord has been good to me!
Harold dearly loved his wife of 64 years, H. Marie Lewis White. He was a kind and generous father to their 4 children, Michael White, Billy (Barbara) White, Shirley (Dave) Willard, and Vikki (Lawrence) Dore and 6 grandchildren, John (Katherine) Dore, Billy (Heather) White, Melissa (Justin) Fish, Jesse (Clayton) Smith, Becca (Justin) Bell, and Sarah Willard, and 6 great-grandchildren.
A graveside service with full military honors will be Friday, June 16, 2017 at 10:00 A.M. at Bellevue Memorial Gardens with Rev. Dave Vosseler officiating.
In lieu of flowers the family requests contributions be made to the Georgia War Veteran’s Nursing Home, The Blue Goose, 1101 15th Street, Augusta, GA 30901.

Other Info:
26May2025: We could not find anything on him until Bob Tegelman found his name on the 1966 Ships Manifest.
Then we found his obit and made a draft Deceased MyPage for him.
1. Source on the Squadron Roster is listed as 25th Anniversary (Not sure what that is)
2. It shows Harold B. White as a SSG 67R4 1965 to March 1970.
3. The MOS is incorrect. The 67R4 MOS did not exist during those years (Advanced Attack Helicopter Mechanic). He was probably a 67 something for OH-23G or UH-1 B,C,D if he served with us.
4. He is not listed in Together We Served (TWS)
5. Dates indicate an extended tour 65 to 67. During a year and a half he should have shown up on something.
We have tons of information on most of our aircraft maintenance guys and crew chiefs, but no mention or photos of him until we found his Obit. Seems very strange.
