Inspired by his role models Br White journeyed to Strathfield in  January 1946 and after successfully completing the Leaving Certificate Tony joined the December 1948 novitiate group.

“Tony used the talents that God had gifted him with and we with gratitude say thank you for the life so generously shared with us as brother,” Christian Brother Michael Talty said in a notice from Christian Brothers Oceania Province.

“May Tony, now be welcomed into the presence of the Lord he served so well and faithfully.”
