HONORING JAMES WHITE
______
HON. STEVEN M. PALAZZO
of mississippi
in the house of representatives
Monday, April 19, 2021
Mr. PALAZZO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of James White who passed away on January 12, 2021 at the age of 74. I send my condolences and prayers to James's wife, Jeannie, as well as his family and friends.
Chief White started with the Gulfport Fire Department in 1965 and worked his way up to becoming the Fire Chief in 1984. Chief White was a great leader and helped guide the department into emergency medical service delivery in the early 80's, making them one of the first fire departments in the area to provide such a service.
He served the City of Gulfport with honor and distinction and was very well respected during his years of service with the Gulfport Fire Department. I know he will be greatly missed by many in our community.
Although we are saddened by his passing, we take comfort in his example of a life well lived and the legacy he leaves behind. On behalf of the 4th Congressional District of Mississippi, we honor the memory of James White, a loving husband, father, man of God, and dedicated civil servant.
