Larrie Dale "Ld" White
May 16, 1934 — December 21, 2015
Larrie Dale “LD” White, 81, passed away on Monday, December 21, 2015 at his home in North Logan. He was born and reared in Highland, Utah where he graduated from American Fork High School. After graduation, he served diligently in the US Army. After his service to this great country, he married Jean Marcusen in the Logan Temple.
He graduated from USU with a major in Electrical Engineering. He used this education well, being one of the first to develop an electronic voting machine. His desire for greater knowledge led him to obtain a Masters of Business Administration degree at USU. He pursued a career in International Programs and the Consortium for International Development where he was an executive for many years and a key contributor to the growth of this program. He traveled to the continents of Asia, Europe, Africa and South America where he helped lay the foundation to grow better crops and was an ambassador of peace. Later, he rose to leadership positions at Morton Thiokol. One of his more exciting positions was when he was a ”Rocket Scientist” and traveled to Florida for the launch of his particular Space Shuttle Rocket motor. He was an extremely skilled carpenter and enjoyed building and remodeling some wonderful homes for his family. He served diligently and enthusiastically in various callings in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In his retirement years he greatly enjoyed his service as an officiator in the Logan Temple. He was intelligent, witty, and had an unparalleled ability to think through and solve almost any kind of problem. He had a great sense of humor. He was helpful, trustworthy, and sympathetic to and ready to assist a stranger in genuine need. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandpa and great-grandpa. No one could entertain a child better than LD. He is survived by his wife of over 60 years, his three children, Colin (Renee), Kathryn (Mark) Burtenshaw, and Mark, 8 grandchildren, and 12 great grandchildren. We will all miss him dearly!
