The family is grateful to the doctors and staff of CVH for their care and support and asks that donations be made to the CVH Foundation or charity of your choice.

Edgar D. White Sr., 83, Lewiston

    Edgar D. (Ed) White Sr. passed away Friday, Aug. 13, 2010, at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Lewiston, from head injuries he received in a fall.
    Ed was born Oct. 15, 1926, in Asotin, to Forest and Mae White. He grew up and attended school in Clarkston.
    At the age of 17, he joined the U.S. Navy. After his tour, he returned to Idaho and started a lifelong career in logging. He married Fay Heywood on July 9, 1951, in Coeur d'Alene. They settled in Weippe, where together they raised four children.
    Ed enjoyed watching his children and grandchildren play sports, often traveling many miles to attend their games. Ed was an avid card player, loved fishing and hunting, and enjoyed gardening and attending to his honeybees. He was always quick-witted and enjoyed sharing stories with family and friends, some that cannot be repeated. God broke the mold with him; there will never be another Ed White. We miss him dearly.
    Ed was preceded in death by his parents; wife Fay White; brother Frank White; sisters Vernadine McLean and Beverly Thomason; and his grandson, Casey Burns.
    Ed is survived by daughter Judy and Steve Burns of Clarkston; son Steve and Denise White of Arlington, WA; daughter Jan and Jeff Chapman of Lewiston; and son Ed and Laurie White of Twin Falls. He is also survived by 13 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
