Roy Richard White, age 84, of Oswego, IL, peacefully passed away Monday, June 21, 2021 at Rush-Copley Medical Center in Aurora, IL. He was born in Logan Co., IL, the son of Arthur Howard and Lala Mae nee Montgomery White. Ever the dedicated worker, Roy held different jobs while he was in school. He pumped gas, did some construction work, and worked at Silver Springs State Park in Plano. Following graduation, Roy proudly served his country in the US Army as a SP4 stationed in Alaska. After his honorable discharge from the military he started out his career by painting castings at Sealmaster Bearing. He then moved on to the shipping department, then to research and development, where he tested the bearings. From there he started estimating them, and moved on to the purchasing department where he ended up the Director of Purchasing. After 20 years at Sealmaster Bearing, he left and became a Manufacturer's Representative for a few different companies. After his long career at Sealmaster Bearing, he decided to go into business for himself and started Precision Packaging, Inc. in 1984, which he sold in 1994 and it is still in business today. Roy not only served his country, he served his community by dedicating many years on the Oswego Village Board and the Kendall County Board. He is survived by his wife of 42 years Linda nee Schmidt White, daughter Michele Stradal, grandsons Thomas Richard Stradal, Justin Taylor Stradal, sister Marilyn (Thomas) Baird, brother Oran (Jo) White and many friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, a son Phillip White and brothers Donald, Ralph, Howard, Harold and Jerry White, and Earl Montgomery.
