There is not a year that has passed since 2015 that I haven't thought of Dr. Whiteside. He was my person. The best physician I have ever had the honor to work with. I pray that he knew how much I cared about him. I can still hear his voice and greeting. Just returned from Door County yesterday- had many thoughts of him and talked about him while walking around in Ephraim. Rest in peace, dear doctor. Love, Denise O'Neil, RN

When I think of Dr.Whiteside, I picture his white coat, WOW (workstation on wheels), coffee cup, and smile. His kindness, gentle voice, and warm personality made our "situations" always easier (whatever they were). He almost always went immediately to the coffee pot upon entering the ICU . And ALWAYS willing to teach and explain things we didn't understand or didn't know (I remember years ago being a new ICU nurse & loving when he was working). Dr. Whiteside gave so much to so many. Thank you Kathi & kids for the sacrifices you made to allow him to do what he did. Sincerely sorry for your loss - he will be remembered & honored. It was a beautiful service.You are all in my prayers.

I am a nurse, he had taken care of both my parents with such compassion, and was always there for me. He was the most genuine, loving, gentle, brilliant doctor I've had the privilege to get to know.

We will miss one of the kindest and gentlest physicians this world will ever know.

Kathi and family- may you find some peace during this time of healing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am deeply saddened by our loss of such a caring and skilled doctor. Dr Whiteside has been a friend, confidante, teacher and someone I always looked forward to seeing on the unit. He truly cared about the patients, nurses and the quality of care. He was "old school", as I say. As am I. We understood each other. I will continue to practice as I always have and carry on his legacy of caring for the patient first and foremost. I will see him again someday and maybe he will help me understand. My sympathies to all family members, patients, coworkers and members of his practice... all who are so deeply touched by what has happened. God Bless you and keep you, Dr Whiteside.

Dr. Whiteside is a amazing doctor person. Always put a smile on my face when I came in for my visits. When I had issues with my medication he always helped me understand the importanance of it and why it was needed. When I had to stop seeing him as my doctor I felt complete emptiness. But never forgot him and all the wonderful things he did for me. I stated seeing him when I was 13 years old back in 1985 until 2008 when I switched insurance 23 years of Dr. Whiteside taking such wonderful care of me such a amazing compassionate doctor. I sent him a thank you card thanking him for all he has done for me over all those wonderful years. I missed him and will miss him even more now. God Bless such a wonderful compassionate person love you Dr. Whiteside. Jennifer Culver
