He was born on March 9, 1948 in Gregory, AR to James Blaine White

strength, hard work and a deep devotion for his family. VJ loved to
hunt, fish and run his racecar “Old Faithful” and was a constant
Razorback fan. He was a retired truck driver but could do anything:
diesel or auto mechanic, carpentry, gardening and could cook the best
hush puppies ever.

daughter Joyce Genneken, grandchildren - Leahann Ybarbo and
Andrew Genneken (Haley), 12 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-

Remlap, AL and Thomas E White (Joni) of Gilmer, TX and 3 sisters - Ruthie Schlebach (Bruce Thibeault) of Mayflower, Brenda Dixon (John) of
Center Ridge and Angie Robertson (Howard) of Conway. He was
predeceased by his parents, his son James T. White, grandson Tyler
Genneken and brother Jerry L White.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date. He will be deeply
missed and lovingly remembered.
