Résumé
Henry Hudson Whiting (July 20, 1923 in Colorado – September 17, 2012) was a member of the Supreme Court of Virginia.
One of eight children born to Lt. Col. Edgar Mason Whiting and Helen Hudson Whiting. His godfather was General George S. Patton, an old friend of Lt. Col. Whiting's from military days. After numerous moves due to his father's military postings, Whiting's family moved in 1934 to Winchester, Virginia, where he was based the remainder of his life. He graduated from John Handley High School and attended Virginia Polytechnic Institute for one year.
Whiting enlisted in the US Army shortly after the outbreak of World War II.

In late 1944 he deployed to Europe as a first lieutenant in charge of a reconnaissance platoon.

During the waning days of the war, he also briefly served as an observer on the staff of General Patton. After VE Day, Whiting served with the Army of Occupation in Europe until May 1946. During this time, he acted as counsel defending minor courts-martial cases and there developed a strong, lifelong interest in the law.
Upon his discharge, Whiting entered the University of Virginia and with the help of GI Bill benefits, graduated from law school in 1949. He was editor of the Law Review, first in his class and was elected as a member of The Order of the Coif and the Raven Society.
