PRINCETON - Lewis L. White, Jr., 78, passed away at home surrounded by 
his loving family on Saturday, March 14, 2015 after an illness. He was

White and had lived in Princeton for over 50 years.

He leaves his loving wife of 58 years, Mary Margaret (Londergan) White;

Subject: Passing of Former Deputy Chief Lou White of Princeton Fire
------------------------------------------------------------------------


I am saddened to inform you of the passing of former Deputy Chief 25C-1 
Lou White of the Princeton Fire Department.  Lou passed away last night 
after a long battle with cancer.  Lou's son Brian White is also a former 
Princeton Firefighter and now a firefighter with Shirley Fire.  Lou's 
older son Kevin White was also a Princeton Firefighter and Lou's whole 
family was part of our family for years.  Lou was one of my mentors for 
years in the Princeton Fire Department and he had a huge impact on my 
life and love of the fire service.

We will keep you informed as the family makes funeral arrangements. 
  Anyone that can help with gathering pictures for the family would be 
greatly appreciated.  I spent last Sunday with Lou and his family and 
presented him with my former Deputy Chief Badge C-1 that I am honored to 
know that will be with Lou as he takes his final journey.  I am also 
extremely appreciative of Chaplain Peter Rotando who has spent countless 
hours with Lou and his family.
