Bruce A. White


August 11, 1934 – April 19, 2024 

Bruce was born, in Toledo, Ohio, to Anthony Joseph and  Mary Rose (Rozsa) White. He studied art in Detroit. For 45  years, Bruce worked as a product illustrator, mostly for the  automobile industry, winning many awards. 

Bruce loved fly fishing tying hundreds of his own flies. He  loved Bald Eagle Lake and gave back to it by testing its  water from 1996 to 2018. He started fishing as soon as  there was open water along the lakeshore in the spring.  Bruce fished in Canada, Eastern and Southern U.S.,  California, Costa Rica, and Belize. 

He also loved baseball, and spent many hours teaching his  sons to pitch and catch. He coached Little League teams.  

He and his wife Sandy loved to travel; their honeymoon was  a safari in Kenya. They also traveled to Alaska, Europe,  Central America and many destinations in the United  States. 

Bruce is survived by wife Sandy, his daughter Cathy  McEachern (Patrick), and sons Bruce Jr. (Sue) and Alan  (Debra), his sisters Mary Koren (Bob) and Rosemary  Jancsin (Bill), and his brothers Gary (Pam) and Bob (Holly),  five grandchildren and five great grandchildren. He was  preceded in death by his brother Brian. 

No funeral will be held.
