To the family
I got to know Ambrose when I was a student at RHS in the late 80's and where he also worked with my father, Bill Kyte. Years later, I was so fortunate to get to know him a bit better when I was a substitute teacher with CBVRCE. I was tasked with a substitute circuit art position for a period of time and Ambrose was the principal of one of my schools, New Victoria Elementary. He was so kind to me and you never forget those compassionate and caring gestures, even many years later.
Most recently, I had the pleasure of doing a bit it of work with Ambrose when he was superintendent and nothing had changed from my original working days with him. He was as kind and compassionate in 2010 as he was when I worked with him in 1995.
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn the deep loss of your partner and father. Know in your grief the positive effect he had on so many of us over the years.
Sincerely,
Darlene Kyte

He left us with some great memories and will be missed! :)

Our sincere condolences to the White family from the Cape Breton Sport Hall of Fame. Ambrose's vast knowledge of the sport history of Cape Breton and his ability to assess impartially the merits of those nominees for induction into the Hall were invaluable to the Selection Committee. The time and consideration he gave to us, and indeed to every endeavour of which he was a part, are very much appreciated. He will be missed, not just by us, by this community and those whose lives he touched. We are grateful for his caring!

Ambrose made it a point of saying good morning to everyone in the office, his way of checking up on our things were going with you and any issues you might be dealing with. He had a great sense of humor which certainly helped on many day.

Dear Marilyn, Greg, Carol Ann, White Family, MacNeil Family, Friends, and Colleagues.
I wish to extend my sincerest condolences and sympathy on the passing of Ambrose. He was always a gentleman, from my Camp Carmel days where Abs was my councillor for several years, then colleague, and then our superior as Superintendent at C.B.V.R.S.B. He was always a pleasure to see and his fair and respectful demeanour always displayed, not to mention his wonderful sense of humour. Mr. White was very helpful at one point in my career and it was a time I needed it most, I was filled with gratitude and shall never forget. Now, you must all take good care of each other as you journey the difficult days ahead. Rest In Peace my friend, you will be missed! I am out of town presently and will miss the celebration of a wonderful life this morning. God Bless You All! I look forward to seeing on my return back in town. Be well!

Dear Marilyn & Family and all the White/MacNeil family members,
I was so sorry to learn of Ambrose's passing. We went through school together and, even as a young man, he always made a positive impression on people. He was always kind and caring, put everything he had into life, and was a lot of fun to be around. It's clear from his obituary and tributes he carried all of these things and more into his adult life, and made a tremendous impact on many people....family, friends, students, his colleagues in education, and in his community. I know he will be missed a great deal by all those who loved and respected him. I hope you all will find comfort and solace in your many memories of happier times.
With my deepest sympathy,

I really got to know Ambrose while he was cEO of the school board and I was vice principal of Glacé Bay High School. Any problem I brought to him was embraced by him as his problem. The solution was always about the students first and showed creativity and a willingness to engage staff in the implementation.
His good cheer characterized every encounter I had with him.
His presence in central office allowed those of us in the schools to be likewise creative in facing any situation that presented itself.
My sadness at writing this is a tribute to the great respect I had for him.

Dearest Marilyn and family,
I was so saddened to hear of the passing to the Lord of Ambrose. Back in High School , he demonstrated, leadership and friendship to many. Although he was quiet, even then I knew he would do great things in the future. I still can picture his mischievous smile but especially his goodness to his fellow classmates.
The obituary certainly captures the “good guy” that he was all his life. People are better for having known and loved Ambrose. I am sending prayer support friendship and condolences to you Marilyn and your children. May you all receive whatever grace you need to move forward and remember all the good times you had together for 40 years. I will celebrate Mass for Ambrose and you on Friday. Hugs , Fr. Gerry White, classmate and friend who admired Abs’ goodness. Blessings!

My sincere condolences to you Marilyn and all of your family in the loss of a very special person. Ambrose displayed great professionism and kindness in dealing with people , whether it was matters dealing with education or union. He was so kind to me when Dennis passed and I will never forget that. Perhaps we'll have lunch sometime.
