We were proud to induct Jack Whitehurst into the FTBA Hall of Fame at the 2024 Annual Convention. Jack followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, cultivating a deep passion for construction and heavy equipment. After graduating high school in 1973, he joined the family business, V.E. Whitehurst & Sons, Inc., where he steadily honed his skills across various roles. His dedication led him to become Vice President of Operations and later serve as Executive Vice President until his passing. Jack also served on the FTBA Board from 2004 to 2010, earning numerous awards from industry associations in Florida. However, his greatest pride was always his family and the employees of his company.

Luther White, Sr. was a pioneering figure in Florida’s transportation industry. After gaining early construction experience in high school, he founded White Construction Company in the 1950s. His company played a key role in building Florida's major highways, including I-10, I-75, and I-95. Luther introduced innovations like lime treatment, soil cement, and the state's first EEO Policy. His work left a lasting impact on the state's transportation infrastructure. We welcomed Luther into the FTBA Hall of Fame earlier this fall at the 2024 FTBA Annual Convention.
