God saw that he was getting tired, not a cure to be, so he put his arms around him and whispered, "come with me", it broke our hearts to lose him but he didn't go alone for part of us went with him the day God called him home.
Ervin V. White, 87, of Danville passed away at 5:30 a.m. Monday, Dec. 8, 2008 at Provena USMC in Danville. He was born Dec. 18, 1920, in Indianola, the son of William F. and Ruth (McCorkle) White. Both deceased. On July 5, 1941,
Ervin married Virginia Cosat in St. Louis, Mo. She survives along with their three sons, Bill (JoAnne) White of Kentucky, Denny White of Tennessee, and Steve (Connie) White of Tennessee. Ervin is also survived by his eight grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and his sister, Dorothy (Jim) Fuller of Champaign.
His three sisters and two brothers precede Ervin in death.
Ervin was a 32nd degree life member of the Anchor Masonic Lodge, the Painter's Local 363 in Champaign, having retired in 1980 as a painter in the housing department at the U of I in Champaign, and a member of the Circle 21 CB Club.
He served 28 months in the United States Army, 24 of those months in the South Pacific Theater, during WW II, having received four bronze stars.
He enjoyed fishing, listening to the CB Radio, while using his C.B. handle "Detonator", which was taken from one of his former jobs will stationed in the South Pacific. Ervin was an avid Chicago Cubs fan and looked forward to seeing all the family at the reunions every year.
