*Even during the SARS outbreak, while he was still recovering from chemotherapy, he was willing to come to Ontario.
*He greeted students from foreign countries in their own language, showing his amazing ability to remember languages.
*At one point, I discussed with him that I had been looking to read Darius the Mede, which was out of print and very hard to find but is universally referenced when discussing the book of Daniel. He jokingly said it was the worst-selling book that Zondervan ever published. The next year, he brought his last copy for me to read. For as technical a book as it was, it was amazingly good to read.
*Dr. Whitcomb’s fantastic ability to remember people and details really set him apart. Many Owen Sound alumni would comment to me that he remembered them when he saw them at second year in New York. Clearly, he would get to know the students in Owen Sound a bit better due to the class size, but he would also ask me about certain students the next year. He might not have immediately recalled the name, but he would remember the people.
