When I was 12 I'd yell his name out from the stands in between matches at the Spectrum and he would always react. Years later he always took the time to talk. Every time. Same story as most of my co workers. Tim White always made the day better. He will be missed very much. https://t.co/RmpXtOHsws

Tim White brightened every room he walked into & the WWE locker room was especially lucky to have him. Being around Timmy on several PR tours was a joy! We would get our work done & meet after and he would tell old road stories & we’d laugh til the sun came up. Cheers, sir 🍻

Tim White was the first person to pay us in 2007, when we worked as “extra talent” in Toronto for WWE.
He paid us the old school way: in cash & out of his briefcase.
Always enjoyed our interactions with Tim White over the years. Fond memories. Rest easy, sir. 🙏🏽

Tim White was a great guy. An endless supply of amazing stories. He loved the biz and being around it. In '06 when his shoulder problems kept him from refereeing he was more than happy to do those crazy skits. A real ham! Pour one out at the Friendly Tap for a true good brother🍻

Terrible news. Every testimonial you’re reading about Tim White is true. I don’t know where the company motto “We put smiles on peoples faces” came from but Tim White did it every day, effortlessly.
RIP to Tim and Dave Hebner – two of the all time greats. https://t.co/lTRVkWvV1F

@WWE Referee Tim White was very much a part of my time in WWE. The stories, the charm, the wittiness & dry sense of humor were all attributes that made him unique, but it was Tim’s heart for those around him that made him special. To his family & loved ones I send condolences. 🙏🏾

Thankful that I had the chance to have one last conversation and hear one final story from Tim White just a few short weeks ago. A true class act who had seen it all and an infectious level of kindness to match. Rest in Paradise Mr. White. pic.twitter.com/WOJlCjjqSO
