Newport Daily News
NEWPORT LeRoy White was musically gifted, but he also seemed to have a sort of divine introspection that enabled him to help and heal those around him.
“He made you examine yourself in reality,” not the idealized version of yourself, explained Julie Bisbano of Newport, a friend of White. He might say something like, “You’re reacting that way because you’re afraid,” Bisbano said. “He was serious and honest and forthright.”
White, a popular musician in Newport, died Monday night “in the light of the Pink Moon,” according to a Facebook post Tuesday. He was 72.
A prior social media post on April 13 announced White’s death was near. As of Wednesday, the post had racked up 1,000 comments and just over 400 shares. People sent virtual messages of love and shared the ways White had touched their lives.
