Another important event for Whiteside was a commercial for Lincoln Mercury. The original intent for the commercial was to have Malcolm Forbes lend the Fabergé Coronation egg; however, curator Margaret Kelly suggested that the car company contact Whiteside to use one of his eggs in order to avoid the expensive insurance and security that would have been necessary to obtain the Fabergé Coronation egg. In 1992, Whiteside purchased the old Johnson farm house, which was located on the western outskirts of Mount Vernon, Texas, and moved it to a estate located off FM 21, near Hopewell in south-central Franklin County in the Piney Woods of East Texas. In 1995, Whiteside moved his Dallas studio on Inwood Road and Lovers Lane to a shop he built on the Veranda property. He continued to work on his art projects there. He opened up the Veranda Bed, Breakfast and Restaurant in 1998. Whiteside was an artist and humanitarian. He was a participant in community awareness support and services. One of his last activities for his community was setting up a foundation for the development, teaching and performance of music. He was the appointed director of the Mt. Vernon Music board. Whiteside, along with the founders of this venue, had the goal of raising money for the purpose of supporting and stimulating awareness in the community for the need of music.

Whiteside was known for donating his abilities. In 1987, Whiteside, along with Gump's, created Faberge-inspired table settings for the Crystal Charity Ball. The table setting theme created for six consisted of gilded sterling silver and royal blue guilloché enamel. The items created for this event were six place card holders enhanced by a small vermeil bow and two cultured pearl feet, six pair of salt and pepper shakers accented by four cultured pearl feet, six cylindrical columned candlesticks, six
