Thu, 10/17/2024 - 11:46

Aug. 30, 1938 - Sept. 29, 2024

Henry C. White, who was a maker of specialty leather goods and wallets, died at home in Delray Beach, Fla., on Sept. 29 after a three-month illness. Formerly a part-time East Hampton resident, he was 86.

After his manufacturing career, from which he retired in 1987, he worked in real estate development.

He had been living in Florida full time since a stroke in May 2017 made traveling back and forth too difficult.

Born in London on Aug. 30, 1938, to Arthur Herbert White and the former Susan Buchwalter, he grew up in New York City. He graduated from Tufts University in Massachusetts in 1959. 

Mr. White enjoyed animals and nature and playing golf and bridge.

He is survived by a son, Adam White, and his wife, Steffanie White, of Soquel, Calif., and by two daughters, Pamela Hayman and her husband, Luke Hayman, of New York City, and Lisa White, also of New York City. He leaves four grandchildren, James, Charlie, Talia, and Tai.
