Arthur Benjamin Hoops Whitney of Medicine Hat, died peacefully on February 7th, 2015 at the grand age of 92. “ZIP” Whitney, son of Earl and Florence Whitney, rode away into a heavenly sunset on February 7th at St. Joseph’s Home for Aged in Medicine Hat after a very short battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife, Margaret; son, Arthur; and daughter-in-law, Nora, also of Medicine Hat; and seven step-grandchildren. “Zip” lived and worked the ranch in Cypress Hills, Saskatchewan, until the mid 60’s then eventually retiring from the Cypress County as a Pest Control Officer in 1987. He loved to watch stampedes and boxing tournaments, especially social visits with a glass of homemade wine that loosened his tongue to reveal fascinating stories of his life and times. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
