Mr. Whittingon was an authentic person. May God Bless his soul till eternity.

So very sorry to hear about the passing of such a gracious man.
He led a life of service to so many and will be remembered well for his commitment, humility, intelligence and dedication to making life better for others. What a wonderful legacy he leaves for others to remember and follow.

Mr. Whittington positively impacted the lives of hundreds of people with developmental disabilities. The Intellectually Impaired Offenders program in TDCJ reduced the five year recidivism rate of female offenders from 33% to 13% while ensuring humane treatment.

I met Harry while working for attorney Garry Vacek. Harry was a hard working "every man". He understood and fought for property owners tirelessly. Years ago I filled in as secretary in his office when his secretary was ill. He will be missed. They don't make men like Harry anymore.
