To all of the White family, My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of your loss. Robert, aka Coach, was always a fair man. He helped me out in school, and showed me respect, and always had a good word to give when ever I saw him in public. He was a leader in Bryson City. One of a few who tried to do what was right. He will be missed.

Robert White was fair and consistent to his employees. You could not ask for anything better than that. You heard his laugher before he got to your classroom or office. He was quick to right a wrong and that is hard for an administrator to do, but he did it anyway. He hired me as an assistant principal and principal. I shall never forget his leadership skills and his love for Swain County Schools!

RIP our friend.
The best History teacher I ever had. Coach White really had a way of getting your attention and keeping it. He had a way of keeping history interesting.
Also loved to watch him on the football field. He got the teams attention just as he could any students in the classroom.
Coach sure hated for some one or any one to whistle "Bob White." But it sure was fun to do and hide as he would scramble around to see if he could catch the whistler. Many laughs!!!
Many memories of Coach as teacher and football coach during his years at Cherokee High School.
You are certainly rremembered!!!

Denise, Nick, Jill & Zeke,
Words cannot express how Robert's passing has saddened us. Having worked with/for him for so many years, has had a great impact on our lives. We considered him a close friend. Please know that each of you have been in our thoughts and prayers since we heard the sad news. Robert had the ability to brighten up a room simply by his presence. We knew that we were his friend by the way he treated & interacted with us. He was truly a booster for Swain Co. Schools but also Swain County. He dearly loved the place. Swain Co. has lost a great man. We will continue to hold each of you close during the coming days. We will miss him in so many ways.
Danny & Sandra

Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family. Bill said he has lost a Coach and more importantly a wonderful friend for 52 years. He will surely miss his boisterous laugh and personality as well as discussions about football at Swain's games arguing about what plays would work and what defenses would best stop the opposing teams. He will be sorely missed by his many friends.
