Wish you are good staying in heaven!

You are long gone, but love stays forever!
Missing you and will miss you always!

I was a student in one of Dr. Whitten's first Chemistry classes when he came to UGA. He was among the best professors I had at the University. He not only taught me the Chemistry content, he also showed me how to be an effective college instructor. He was a great educator.

Love will never wither in life!

Dr. Winfield M. Baldwin and his adult children, Susan and Bob Baldwin share our deepest sympathy to the Whitten family on your lost.

Dad was taken back this morning when he read of Ken's untimely passing. Susan and Bob were as well.

Ken was a wonderful friend, neighbor and colleague to Jinx and me. We taught together for a long time and started close to the same time at UGA in 1967.

He called often and also brought us vegetables in the summers. We would see him...

Both Drs. Whitten Ken and Betty were an important part of my life at UGA, as they were for thousands of others over the years. I've missed them both a lot over the years, and now I will miss them even more. But I remain thankful for their friendship and support over the years.

Dr. Whitten was an inspiring chemistry professor at UGA.
My condolences to all family members and those of the UGA community that were fortunate to have him as a professor.

My condolences to all who loved him. I had Dr. Whitten for Chemistry at UGA and have always been thankful for all I learned from him and his kindness.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
