I worked with Dr. Bittner for a while. I am shocked that he passed away. He was so full of life and a pleasure to work with. I know he was so proud of his new office, and i was very impressed with it too. He loved bis life and his family and friends. He will be missed.

Dr.Bittner was a really special person. He would come down to Disney's to borrow a step stool like he wasn't already tall enough. He was laugh and make jokes. He was a pleasure to talk with. My fondest memory was one day at lunch one of my co-workers and myself went to subway. Dr.Bittner was already seated eating his lunch. He ask us to join him. We couldn't eat for laughing. I am deeply saddened by the loss of this very special person. I pray God brings comfort to his family.

Dr. Bittner was such an amazing dentist. I had previously had some nightmarish experiences in the dentist's chair. But he was always so nice, always making sure I was in no pain whatsoever. I loved his laughter. He was always joking and having a good time. Our prayers are with the family during this difficult season.

Oh my buddy. I just can't beliave it. You were such a great dentist ,and the best I ever had. You were straight up with me about wearing my guard at night. " just keep grinding away and waste your money".
Im lost. Its not going to be easy to replace you. Well I want. Ill find someone since I have too but I will never replace you my friend. This old lady loved you. I couldn't wait to talk Auburn football and beating Bama, Georgia once, and the one that got away.
Law mercy I'm so sad. Ill stop by to visit you soon at your resting place and complain about Malzan. I'm pretty sure as usual you will be listening to me go on and on.

You will always be my buddy!

What a loss to my family as he was a wonderful dentist and friend. I will miss his smile and the fun shared at listening to the rock music in his office. Trying to guess the artists. Unique, kind and caring. It's hard to give up something when you are not thru loving it. We are blessed for the time my husband and I had with him.

Dr. Bittner will be missed by us! We all moved to Alexandria Dentistry with him when he left Southside. He was always smiling and always had something positive to say. He definitely was a man full of humor and many words. I think he knew every song and artist that came on. We all lost a great person. Prayers and comfort during this tragedy.

Dear Carl,
You were such a comfort to us when we lost our son, John, in October. We are so sorry about the loss of your son, Chris. We are praying that the good Lord will grant you strength as you go through the worst time ever. We also pray for peace for you. Know that your son is with Jesus and with all of the family who have passed away before him. Knowing that will help you bear this grief. You will see him again one day. We continue to pray for you in Christian love.
