Cavers,
Tom White was a UT Grotto caver in the 50's and 60's. We were friends
for many years but we did not hang out together that far back so I do
not know that much about his caving activity. I believe that he was the
person who started Texascavers and ran it for years. He was also a cook
for the caver reunions in the 60's. For the past several years, Tom and
Janie White have lived in Rockport TX in Janie's historical ancestral
home. That house was in the eye of Hurricane Harvey last year. We last
saw the Whites when they had retreated to Seguin as the house was being
repaired enough to be livable.
Here is what we know: Tom went to the hospital June 24th with shortness
of breath. He died in the hospital Saturday, July 7th of congestive
heart failure.
Perhaps some of you old timers can fill in about Tom's caving. If a
"celebration of life" or such thing occurs, I will spread the word. Our
condolences to Janie and the family.
......... Sam and Diane Young
