William III

William James "Bill" White, III, 84, of Kitzmiller, passed away after a lengthy illness on Sunday, October 30, 2016, at the Garrett Regional Medical Center in Oakland. Born on March 15, 1932, he was the son of the late William James, Jr. and Lula Pearl (Paugh) White. Bill was a barber and a school bus driver who was loved by many. He gave many little ones their first haircuts which started with tears but ended with a lollipop and a smile. The bus trips gave him many stories to tell when he was cutting hair. He was a lifelong member of the Kitzmiller Volunteer Fire Department having given 56 years of service and was also a member of the Kitzmiller Lions Club and former mayor of Kitzmiller. He was also a musician who played a variety of string instruments. His love of bluegrass and gospel was a gift he passed down to his children. He led a full life; a life of love and adventures with trips to Florida which he greatly enjoyed. Bill will be missed by many and he leaves behind a legacy that cannot ever be matched. He is survived by his loving wife of 65 years, Carma R. (Bray) White; a son, W.
