EBBA and LDBA umpire Gary Whiteman passed away on Sunday, April 4 after a short six-week battle with a brain tumour. As well as umpiring over the past decade or so, Whiteman served briefly on the EBBA Board of directors and as Umpire-In-Chief for EBBA. Gary was also known to a lot of former EBBA players as their teacher as he taught for several years at Glen Cairn P.S. 

Gary was always well liked and respected.  A long-time fellow LDBA umpire described Gary in the following way,  "Gary Whiteman was one of the good guys."

That is how Gary Whiteman will be remembered by those of us who knew him well .....................
