Groveland – Lester W. White, 90, husband of the late Dorothy T. (King) White, who passed away May 6, 2020, passed May 8, 2020, just 38 hours after his beloved wife, of Covid-19 at Holy Family Hospital in Methuen.
Born in Haverhill, he was the son of the late Clarence E. and Eva A. (Watts) White. Lester served his country with honor in the United States Navy during the Korean War. He founded Groveland Fence in 1960 and retired in 1992, having his family continue the business. Lester was proud to see his son in law and grandsons follow in his footsteps. He liked motorcycles, old cars, and riding around his yard on his tractor. Lester enjoyed travelling to Florida for the winters with his wife Dorothy. His family and all his friends will miss him dearly. The family would like to thank Baker Katz Nursing Home where he resided briefly and for putting up with his shenanigans. Thank you to Merrimack Valley Hospice for his care during his final hours.
Lester is survived by his daughter, Andrea Belisle and her husband Kenneth of Groveland; his grandsons, Bryan Belisle and his wife Allison of Groveland; Brett Belisle and his wife Emily of Kingston, NH; his great grandchildren, Cooper, Olive, Sawyer and Ruth. He was predeceased by his son W. Michael White, brothers, Gerald and Newell White and a sister, Bessie Dlugosz.
Due to the healthcare crisis, services will be private. Arrangements are by the Kevin B. Comeau Funeral Home, 486 Main Street, Haverhill. Please visit Comeau Funeral Home on Facebook or www.comeaufuneral.com
