Obituary for Pablo Benito (Ben) White

Pablo Benito White (Ben) of Hyde Park, MA passed away peacefully on the 6th of January 2022 after a long courageous battle with Alzheimer’s disease with his loving and devoted wife Dorothy White close by.

Pablo Benito White (Ben) was born in Cuba on the 15th of January 1934 to Edmund Josiah White and Ethlyn White.

While still a teenager the whole family moved to Jamaica where he completed his high school education. After graduating high school, Ben pursued a career as a tailor. During the late 1950’s Ben had moved to England and qualified as a welder, where he worked at Paten Shaft for many years.

By 1980 Ben had moved to the United States and reunited with his younger brother Edmund White Jr. in Boston, who he had not seen since leaving Jamaica.

Ben took on a new career and trained to become a mental health nurse at Boston State Hospital. He enjoyed the new challenges of his transition and was rapidly promoted to a supervisory position.

Ben touched so many lives with his kind, caring loving nature and will be remembered as a decent, amazing husband, father, brother, uncle and friend who ensured his assistance was given, whether it be emotional or practical. Ben enjoyed travel, politics, gardening, construction & DIY.
