Robert Felt Bitner

Dear Sister Bitner, We were a just married couple living in New York during part of 1952 & 1953. I was stationed with the U. Sl. Army in N. Y. City & Arlene & I lived in Jackson Heights on Long Island. We were acquainted with you in the Ward & had the opportunity to tend your children (22 or 3 at that time) so you & Bob (Dr. Bitner) could have a night off. Although we never saw you again back in Utah we have thought of that experience in New York many times. We especially remembered the good example of what a young married couple should be. May the Lord continue to bless you. Alan & Arlene Christensen, South Jordan, Utah

Dear Alan, we have been reading about your wonderful father and wanted you to know that we are thinking of you and Marilyn and your family and wishing you well. Our love, Willes and Karen Thorne - Orem

He was a very kind doctor, I remember and will be missed by those he touched their hearts.

I was always fond of Dr. Bitner. He was so handsome and kind. I loved being friends with his son in school and will always remember what a great example he was for his children. My sincere condolences to all of the family. Much love to you from the Barber family.

Such a wonderful, compassionate physician. He took excellent care of our family.

Dear Alan and Marilyn,

We love you and know what a great man your father is. May you both feel great peace at this time.

Dear Carol,

I am sending you my love and prayers as you say goodbye to your husband,not an easy experience. I loved serving with you at the Bee Hive House for several years on Wednesdays. I wanted you to know you are in my thoughts at this time.

We are honored to have known Dr. Bitner, he was our family Doctor, always a kind word to say even when you ran into him in town. good Man

May Gods peace and love sustain you during this difficult time. Ps 55:22

Doc Bitner was a friend, neighbor and our family doctor. He was very much appreciated by our family for his kindness and the loving care that he provided for our family. We wish his lovely bride and family all the best.

I lived in Layton several times as I was growing up and he was a constant in the life of my family. As a young man he impressed me with his ability to put you at ease and really seemed to listen and understand your feelings. Even if you were a kid.

Literally a life saver for my family. A very good man

My most sincere sympathies to the Bitner family at this time. Dr. Mark and his daughter Haley are dear friends and I hope that they can find some peace through Christ at this difficult time. FAMILIES ARE FOREVER!

Sorry to hear about the passing of a wonderful man he was our Bishop and Patriarch. We will miss him at various conferences and at the Stake Center. Randie Kelsey and Renal Heaps

Dr. Bitner...What an incredible man he was. He was my Dr. from the time I was born 52 years ago. My parents (Jim and Louise Brandell) adopted me and my mom had no idea how to take care of a newborn. Dr. Bitner was her angel. He went on to take care of my son who is now 31, for the first year of his life. Dr. Bitner even attended my wedding! I so loved this man. His warmth, knowledge, kind spirit and loving heart. I hadn't thought about him in years and just the other day, he was on my mind so it is ironic that he should pass away at this time. May your family know how much you loved and cherished them and that they find comfort in that.

May you rest in peace with the angels, as you are one to me. I hope you see my parents in heaven and if you do, give them a hug for me. With love and warm regards,
Cari

Growing up in Layton, I have many heartfelt memories of Dr. Bitner and the Bitner family. He was a great example to many. I am sorry for your loss. God bless.

Dr. Bitner was a special man; patriarch to his family and community, and although he saw dozens of boys grow up in our once small corner of Layton, this is one boy who always considered him a friend -- he and his wife were always so kind and meaningfully generous to me.
His amazing family is his greatest legacy.
Best wishes, love, and condolences to the Bitners, and extended family.

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Your father has certainly been a blessing to his family and community. We pray that God's grace will bring you comfort and peace. Rod and Sharon Hallsten
