Whitney lived a full life, which was grounded in his love for family and friends. His happiest times were spent living at the cottage with Faye, and surrounded by his family, and welcoming any visitors that came to call. He enjoyed fishing, and was always trying his best to catch the big one. He was a lover of nature and wildlife.

Whitney had an incredible gift of being able to show unconditional love and kindness to all who knew him. He took pride in his work and knowing that a job was done well. He will forever be remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend.
