It was in the 40’s, I was just a boy (9or10). Paul & Majorie were married in Wildwood , NJ by my brother-in-law who was the pastor of the Anglesea Baptist Church. Many years later I recall seeing photos….Paul had 1947/48 Ford convertible…..it was a fairy-tale wedding. When they visited my parents home in Dalmatia PA, Paul would immediately go to the piano……one of his favorites was “Buttons and Bows”…..he played beautifully…..later becoming the band director of the Garden Spot High School. Thanks Marjorie and Paul for giving me these wonderful memories. From Majorie’s cousin, Arden

Paul White started me, as a sixth grader, on a path to a lifelong career in the art of music. He passed much too early in 1965 during my rookie year as a music educator. Marge asked me to provide the drawing of the musical notation of “their song” which is etched on their tombstone in the Hershey Cemetery.
Marge and Paul were gracious hosts to many of his music students in their home at 54 Union Avenue in New Holland. It was a revolving door and the visits were always filled with laughter and friendly banter.
Their influence on us kids was positive and extensive.
It is a time of grief for Melody and Paul, Jr. but also a time of rejoicing that, after many decades, Marge and Paul are together with the Savior along with Holly and Kent.
With condolences to the family,
