Sidney A. White Jr.
Sid, age 80, of Lee, N.H. peacefully passed away on September 19 , 2022 under the loving care of Hyder Family Hospice House. He was supported by the Seacoast Parkinson’s Support Group on his long journey with Parkinson’s and Dementia.

Sid’s voice found a home in many church choirs: First Parish Federated Church of S. Berwick, St. John’s Episcopal Church in Portsmouth, and Lee Church Congregational.
He also enjoyed being a member of the South Berwick Community Chorus.
Every summer, Sid attended St. Peter’s By The Sea Episcopal in Cape Neddick, Me., where he served on the Board of Trustees for many years.
