Obituary for M. A. “Whitey” Urquhart Published in Panama City News Herald on July 1, 2015 Whitey was born on March 7, 1928, at Sacred Heart Hospital, Pensacola, Florida, to M. A. "Gus" Urquhart and Sallie Spann Urquhart. He was the oldest of twelve children. After the death of his mother in 1939, he was raised by his grandparents, Martha and Henry Urquhart, in Bonifay, Florida. He is preceded in death by two brothers, Donald "Pug" Urquhart and Joe Bill Urquhart; and his first wife, Jonnie Sue Boswell Urquhart. They were married in 1953 at Gulf Beach Presbyterian Church in Panama City Beach, Florida. Sue died February 12, 1997. He is survived by his loving wife, Linh. They were married at his home in Lynn Haven, Florida, on February 18, 2001. Whitey and Sue had three children, Terri Sue Urquhart Pensacola, Florida; Toni Nicole Urquhart, Tallahassee, Florida, and Steven Anthony Urquhart, who died in an automobile accident in 1979. His two grandchildren are Sally Augusta Jesmonth, San Francisco, CA; John Steven "Jack" Jesmonth, Pensacola. Whitey's surviving sisters and brothers are Larry (Sarah), Jerry (Carolyn), Rose June Broxson (Alvin), Joe Bob (Betty), Richard "Snookie" (Norma), Neal (Sharon), Janice Merident (Joel), John Paul, and Kathy Stringer (Scott). He is also survived by a brother-in-law, Paul Boswell, and his wife, Annette, next-door neighbors for many years and by many nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends. Whitey attended grades one through three in Bethlehem Elementary School, Holmes County, Florida, grades four through six in Central Riverside Elementary School, Jacksonville, Florida, and grades seven through twelve at Bonifay High school, Bonifay, Florida. During his senior year in high school, he received offers of football scholarships from the University of Alabama and the University of Florida. In 1945, he attended the University of Alabama where he played football, went to the Rose Bowl and won over Southern California on January 1, 1946. He joined the U.S. Navy from which he was honorably discharged January 2, 1948. He went back to the University of Alabama, but transferred to Florida State University from which he graduated in 1950 with a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in economics. While at FSU, he was quarterback for the football team for the years 1948 and 1949. The team won the Cigar Bowl on January 1, 1950. He attended the University of Florida Law School and graduated January 1959. He became a civil trial lawyer in Panama City, Florida, and followed that career until retirement. He was on the Advisory Board at Gulf Coast Community College, and later served as lawyer for the Board for many years. He was appointed and was a charter member of the State Board for community colleges. Whitey loved football and was an avid bird hunter. He had two close friends, Bill Perry and Jimmy Patronis, along with many other friends who enjoyed these activities with him. He was a member of First Presbyterian Church, (formerly Wallace Memorial), Panama City, where he served in various positions.
