Frank White Jr., 93, was born September 21, 1923 in Saltillo, Tennessee to Frank and Cella White. He moved to Texas in 1925, in time for the 1930's census. He graduated from Bay City High School in 1947, after serving in World War II in the US Army Air Corps. He obtained a B.A. degree at Southwestern University in 1951 followed by a Master's in Fine Arts in 1953.

Frank lived most of his adult life in Sugar Land, Texas where he exhibited a big heart for service. He was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Sugar Land and offered many hours of his time volunteering both at the church and for Memorial Southwest Hermann Hospital.

Frank was both a businessman and a teacher. He first taught music at Lake Jackson Jr High, then moved to Houston where he co-owned and operated Parker Music Co for 18 years and eventually left to follow his true dream of imparting his love of music to band students at Sugarland Jr. High, from which he retired in 1983.
In addition to his love of music, Frank had many other interests. He obtained his private pilot's license and scuba diving certifications. He was an amateur photographer and enjoyed camping.
