To the Whittemore Family. What a privilege and honor it was to have known Dr. Whittemore. A caring human being, always with a smile on his face and a good word. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you. My regards,

I was the ring-bearer at Uncle Bob's and Aunt Leslie's wedding in 1947. I remember to this day walking down the aisle of the Federated Church carrying the ring on a pillow while my good friend Barbara Jones was the flower girl. Somehow both Barbara and I made it to the altar where my Grandfather, the Reverend John Leslie Harvey performed the wedding. It was a glorious day for the young Whittemores and they and my cousins have been and always will be part of the great memories growing up...

Dr. Robert will always be remembered by the Stouts. We found a lot of joy visiting and learning from such a good role model for our children. They refer to Dr. Robert often. We will miss our friend, our mentor and our neighbor. Our thoughts and prayers go to the family and Sybil.
