Family sorry for the loss of such a sweet precious soul. All of us who grew up in Duffyfield know Mr.White even though we called him Mr.Balo I may not be spelling it correctly. At one time I loved across the street from his daughter and I would see him from time to time. He was so full of knowledge if you took the time to listen I enjoyed our chats.He lived a long and rewarding life and Family was everything to him. Praying for GOD's peace and comfort to surround you all in the coming days.Charlene Washington
