John E. White, a member of the West Deptford Masters Soccer team, passed away suddenly on Sunday, April 9th, 2006 after playing their game. John had been involved with SJASL Mens League for many years as well as the SJMasters Soccer League. I'm sure most of you have played against him at one time or another. A good decent guy who played hard and enjoyed himself, a guy who when you walked onto the field, would greet you with a smile and ask how you doing, as he did this last weekend with myself. The link for the viewing and funeral is:
