Stan was a great man. He was one of our best customers at Century Buick in Kalamazoo, MI back in the 1970's (before one of his boys totaled the best looking Buick I had ever seen.) He was also a special friend and his family and his company were his whole life! Thank You Stan for being there when I needed a friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to all your family. I'll never forget you, Love Diane C. Anderson-Schubring

Stan was always there when we were growing up, heavily involved with us in the Boy Scout Program, many football games in his backyard when we were kids. Always pleasant but firm, had lots of respect for him and his family.

I worked with Stanley at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in the City of Kalamazoo. We built the original church in 1979 and doubled the size of it +/- 15 years later. He was a great guy and a great contractor. See you later Stan...!

Tommye, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of "Whit". You may not remember me. I was a student at SBC in 1949-50 and knew you and Whit well. Of course I lost contact when we left SBC. God Bless.

My thoughts, prayers, and heart felt sympathy go to the entire Whitaker family. My husband's life long work started at Whitaker construction and carried on through additional Whitaker businesses. What a wonderful family they are! May God Bless all of you!

Stan was a client at a law firm where I worked on the administrative staff in the 1980s and I remember his kindness, graciousness, and charm very well even all these years later. My condolences to his family.

The loss of Whit is painful for so many
of us who are a part of your "Employee Family". It is difficult to get through these times, but keep your faith in God, and know we are always here to support you.
