as we celebrate the work and life of Neal
Prof. Neal White, professor emeritus at San Francisco State University, Photography, Fine Arts Department, passed away after a long illness, on Thursday evening, July 25, 2024, at home, with his wife Paula by his side.
Artist, photographer, oil painter, cinematographer, historian, bona fide genius, cartoonist, Certified Chinese Medical Practitioner, Acupuncturist, expert marksman, and teacher are just a few of the titles rightly assigned to Neal. He was a brilliant person, a person of many accomplishments, yet he considered kindness his most important attribute.
Neal was predeceased by his adored mother, the artist Renee White, and his father, Dr. Sidney White.
He leaves behind his beloved child Sergiu I V White of Vermont, his brothers Geoff, Rory, and Rush of California, his lifelong dear friends Neil Reichline, Dr. Peter Eckman, Tim Haworth, and George Berticevich, his wife Paula Mack of Vermont, her child Maxine Darling (Isaac) of Maine, and countless works of art in homes, private collections, and museums around the world, along with many works still to be seen.
There are no public services, as we each honor Neal and grieve his passing with our own unique practices.
