Jeanne and Sherri and families: While we share our grieving for Byron Jackson White, we all have our favorite remembrances of his life. As his brother (5 years younger) I will always remember our youth and growing up in Watertown, New York. It was a great life and we were so blessed to have great parents. My wife Carole and I both agree that Jeanne was one of the best things in Byron’s life. Bob & Carole White
