Smooth sailing dear friend. Bill Morrell

One of the greatest friends in my entire life. We met in 1981 in Chincoteague, Va, sent Christmas Cards and talked to one another EVERY year at Christmas.....never missing a year, but now...... this one. I love you "Bobbeee".....hope to see you again in that next dimension we often talked about.......

We will miss you old Friend and not forget you. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Thank you Bob for leading the way and fun memories.

Rest in peace fat Daddy. You made us all laugh many many times. And when you got to rolling with Eugene, Matt, Buddy, and Sugie I would often laugh till I cried. It was like being at a George Carlin, Steve Martin, and Richard Pryor concert. The good times will not be forgotten. Thank you Brother! Jimmy

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

So very sorry to hear of Bob’s passing

You were truly one of a kind and will be missed by so many, but especially by your dear son Jamon. I know the Lord has his arms wrapped around you tightly now. May you rest in eternal peace.

Mr. Bob White was a good friend, good businessman, clever, loved to joke, and gave the best bear hugs. We had lots of fun in past Stone Age years - the “good times”, You’ll be missed Bob White. May you rest in peace.

Bob was an iconic figure in winchester during the 1970's. He will always be a part of winchester's history opening one of the first head shops in town. I have lots of great memories hanging out at the stone age. Fly with the angels Bob. You will not be forgotten.

Ted and I will miss Bob so much. Ted had met Bob in 1969 and they became fast friends. I met Bob in 1978 and I became a "family" member as well. Bob visited us in Arizona many times and we visited him many many times in Winchester. He became family and our entire family loved him dearly. He was a Christian and we will see him again someday in Heaven! We will miss him very much. Rest in Peace, Bob. we love you. Ted, Cindy. Ted Jr. Curtis and Lisa Males

Bob White has been like a member of our family since the '70's when he worked at the acme food store on Berryville Pike. Every time I stopped by to see him (and it was often) he always told me that the police had just been at his house. I acted surprised and asked him what the problem was and he would reply "the police told him that someone had complained that his dog was chasing kids on a bicycle; and that he told the police it wasn't his dog--his dog didn't know how to ride a bicycle!!" We loved BOB.

Robert W....A close friend for many, many years. We were in business together. We partied ALOT together. He was the Aquarius epitome with friends from all over the world. A generous man with his time and his money. He's gone to be with the angels in heaven, where he belongs. I'll miss you my friend. Look for me when it's my time and tell Jesus I'm holding strong. I love you man.

I am so very sorry to learn of Bob's passing. He was indeed a unique character. He and Eddie Kerns sat behind me in Mrs. Hall's history class. Bob and Eddie made "funny" remarks about Mrs. Hall all during class. Drove me nuts!! RIP, Bob. See you on the other side someday.

Prayers for his son. Bob was quite the character, I foundly remember all the times I visited his shop "Stone Age ". Loved that place.

Such great memories of Bob from back in the day, shopping at his boutique ( coolest clothes Winchester ever had), seeing him in at Nautilus Fitness Center, always with a smile on his face. Bob you were well known and will never be forgotten. Rest in peace my dear friend. Condolences to his family.

Bob was indeed a unique individual and quite the entrepreneur with a good sense of humor. I remember when we were teenagers a night at Jolly Jack’s when our friend Skip Glasscock was home on military leave and we went for a ride in his car only to hit some fence posts causing the car to flip and ending upside down in a ditch. Bob was able to roll down one window and we were able to crawl out. Unfortunately our friend Skip did not survive. I know they are now seeing each other in Heaven. Rest in peace my friend.

Many found memories of you Bob. Rest in Peace my friend.

May you rest in the arms of our Lord! Condolences to your family.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Great guy! Spent some fun times with him over the years. Safe journey, Bob.

So sorry to hear of Bob’s passing

Bob,, when you see Connie tell her that I love her and I will be along soon. RIP my brother.

Seems like I’ve know him forever, his stores were the downtown landmarks before the walking mall He was the cool dude with the groovy store fronts I think he knew everyone in town, if he didn’t, they weren’t from around here. He will be remembered by many, rest in peace Bob White

RIP Bob. We will miss you. His father's name was Marvin Conard White, Sr. His oldest brother was Marvin Conard White, Jr. (Pete). The middle brother was Gerald Lynn White. (Gerry).

I am so sorry to learn of Bob’s passing. I always took time to stop and see Bob at his jewelry store when I was going through Winchester on my motorcycles. We were teammates playing football at Handley, He will be missed by his many friends…may he rest in peace. Until we meet again my friend. Jack Reed

May God‘s grace be with the family

Bob was my landlord when I owned a bakery in Strasburg. He gave me a chance, supported me and cheered me on. Was kind to me. Gave me sound business advice and was always there for me when I needed to talk about the business or just to commiserate about life. I’ll miss his laughter, jokes and brutal honesty when I needed to hear it. You were a good man, Bob, and made an impact in the world…especially my life. I’ll never forget you.

Bob had a patriarchy life. He lived for the deal. Good man he was.

Bob was a great neighbor for 20 plus years, he was always joking and happy! I will miss his stories and Hawaiian shirts..he said he was on vacation when he wore them, he was such a character always making me laugh. I could hear him whistling Bob white on the porch, calling his cats he loved so much Natty and Bobcat. I know Ruthy will miss him so much his beloved lab. Rest in peace Bob we will miss you.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
