Obit: L.O. Whitey

[Guest guest]

My sympathies go out to Whitey's family for his passing. The EMS community

in Texas owes him tremendously for everything he brought to our profession.

He pushed us professionally towards bettering EMS in our state and nation.

He shall be truly missed.

Whitey was a wild man! He was one of the funniest people I ever met. I

met him when I was in Paramedic school in Houston in 1981, and I was, at that

time, a sort of player in Texas EMS. That got me into some committees with

Whitey and I had the great fortune to have been with him socially several times.

I won't recount some of the episodes I went through with him, but suffice it

to say that traffic laws were for others, not Whitey when he was in his staff

car, no matter what city he was in. He was a member of a generation of EMS

folks that's now gone. Weatherall was one of them, and I'm sure the members

of this list can come up with many more.

Thanks to Whitey and Weatherall and others like them, Texas EMS is now the

premier example of how to do it. There's been lots of water under the bridge

since them, but they were the founders.

Rest well, Whitey. And I hope St. gives you a SUV with a Federal Q2B,

and twinklies all over the place, and lets you roam Heaven with lights and

sirens. You deserve it.

It is so cool that we have had so many wonderful, fun, and exciting people so

far in our colorful EMS community. Whitey will be missed even by those of us who

didn't personally know him because he represents more of that color and history

that has brought us to where we are right now.
