Not sure what to say?

In loving memory of a great person Dr. Clifton WhitakerJr., He was a wonderful Man of God who displayed a heart full of love and "The Pastor that Ordained" me as a Deacon whom I learned a lot of wisdom and knowledge from, we all did. Amen. He will be loved and missed always. Yours In Christ, Deacon Sheila Williams/Family

TO the family of Dr. Whitaker, you have my deepest sympathy. I will always remember his smile to everyone.

To the family you have my deepest sympathy and condolences. God Bless!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Clifton has and was always an inspiration to me whenever I visited the family home so many years ago, in school, and while serving on the Richmond police force with my cousin. When he became a minister that inspiration became even greater. The city and his earthly family will surely miss him yet all we need do is cast an eye upwards to know that he is ever there still smiling his special smile, watching, and praying.

My condolences to Cousins Lola, Gina, Jacci and Joy and family for their loss. While Clifton, Jr (Junie ) was my cousin, he felt more like my big brother and referred to me as his "little brother". He was a pillar in this community and we will greatly miss him. Carlos and Family

We stop by to pay or respect for the life and service given by our Armstrong member. God gave him a spirit of caring ad sharing and he returned that in his lifetime. We pray the family will have peace in this time, trusting in the Lord Dr. Whitaker faithfully served

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

My sincerest condolences to the family of Your loved one, Reverend Doctor Clifton Whitaker, Emeritus. Such a wonderful and pleasant soul who along with his Deacons helped me many years ago during a severe illness and being in a very lonely and dark place. His prayers, caring conversations and encouragement was so thoughtful and I will always have a special place in my heart for kindness . So Rest in Paradise My Friend.
