Remembering Jo Jo White

A friend posted a picture of Jo Jo White on his Facebook feed recently as a memorial marking his recent passing.

Growing up in California, it’s funny that my father made we into a Boston Celtics fan. We would go see them play the Warriors when I was a kid. And it was fittting that Jo Jo White, the Celtics point guard and for a time my favorite player (what Joe wouldn’t wish they could pull off being a Jo Jo), spent more than a season toward the end of his career with the Golden State Warriors.

The Celtics fandom of my childhood made it as an antedote in Mrs Neu’s, aka Lucy Robertson’s column. There’s no mention of Jo Jo, but I watched him a lot on that new color TV. May they both Rest In Peace.
