A two-way player in football, White developed a reputation as a rare “ironman” – a player who played all 60 minutes of a game – for Auggie football teams in the mid-50s. He earned All-MIAC honorable mention honors as a starting quarterback in 1952, and was also a member of the men’s basketball teams for several years. He worked for 37-and-a-half years at Honeywell in the avionics divisions, and has been active as a football referee and hockey coach. He has served on numerous A-Club committees, including the golf tournament committee for more than a decade, during which the tournament has raised more than $100,000. He has lived in Fridley, Minnesota, for the past 42 years and has two children, Darren and Kevin.
