Robert L. White Jr. 1965-2026

Bob was born in Fairmont, W.Va., a son of Robert Lee Sr. and Alice Kincaid White.

Bob was a 1984 graduate of Howland High School, where he played soccer and excelled on the debate team. He went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in organizational communications from Youngstown State University. During his time at YSU, Bob was initiated into the Sigma Chi fraternity, which remained a big part of his life after college. He forged many lasting relationships and enjoyed playing softball with his fraternity brothers in later years.

Bob had an extensive career as an importer, which afforded him the opportunity to travel the world. He had the pleasure of seeing many places and cultures alongside his wife, Mary Ann. Notable trips included China, Thailand, Europe and South America. He also enjoyed fishing and kayaking. Most of all, Bob was a devoted husband, son and father.

He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Bob will always be remembered by his wife of 32 years, Mary Ann Olsavsky White of Howland; son, Robert Lee White III of Howland; parents, Robert Lee Sr. and Alice White, also of Howland; mother-in-law, Ethel White of Edinboro, Pa.; sisters, Bobette White Carpenter of Howland and Stephanie White of Kinsman; and many loved nieces, nephews and cousins.
