James V. "Jim" White,
Sr.
James V. "Jim" White, Sr., of Eldorado, Ohio, passed away on Thursday,
March 5, 2020, at his home.
He was born on July 13, 1945, in Morehead, Kentucky, to the late George
and Juanita (Day) White.
In addition to his parents, Jim was preceded in death by his sister,
Joyce Storer.
Soon after graduating from high school, Jim decided to beat the draft
and enlisted in the United States Marine Corp in 1965. After serving
his country, he began his life-long career as a truck driver. Before he
retired in 2014, Jim was named "Master Truck Driver" by the Indiana
Motor Truck Association. During his years driving for Con-Way Central
Express, he successfully navigated over 1 million miles safely. Jim had
many hobbies; he loved coloring on Sunday mornings while drinking his
coffee. He enjoyed spending time in the garage listening to music or a
Cincinnati Reds game and drinking a beer, preferably a Corona. Jim
would tell you his greatest accomplishment would be his family. His
fondest memories are the times he spent with his grandchildren. Connie
is his greatest inspiration, and his family meant the world to him.
Jim is survived by his wife of 41 years, Connie (Paulus) White, whom he
married on December 24, 1978; his children, Tim Glander and his wife,
Tonya, of New Paris, Ohio, and James V. White Jr. and his wife,

and Cooper; his brothers and sisters, George White and his wife, Irene,
of Medway, Ohio, Ronald White and his wife, Carol, of Springfield,
