Andrew “Andy” Leonard White

WELLS – Andrew “Andy” Leonard White, 69, of Wells, died peacefully on July 30, 2026, at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover, N.H.

Andy was born on May 17, 1957, in Sanford, the son of Hector and Marguerite (Champagne) White. He attended local schools and started his career at the local woolen mill. Andy worked at Lavalley Lumber for many years, and most recently, he worked in Materials Management at MaineHealth Biddeford Campus. He loved his jobs and especially his coworkers.

Andy enjoyed cycling, fishing, music, playing guitar, good food and coffee, laughing with his friends and family, reminiscing about the old days, and was a member of the Southern Maine Coast Cycling Club. He loved all people and creatures and got so much joy from being around those he loved. Andy was a soft-spoken man, gentle and kind, and he will be remembered for his infectious smile, positive outlook, and appreciation of the simple things in life. Everyone who ever met Andy always said the same thing, “God, what a nice guy!”

Andy is survived by his children, Jennifer White and Andrew White; mother, Marguerite Sladen; siblings Anthony (Kirsten) White, William (Terri) White, Matthew (Kathie) White, Angela (Barry) Elliott, and Rebecca (Tim) Gaillard; grandson, Andrew; several nieces and nephews; and many, many friends.
