It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Richard Clifford Whitaker (Bakersfield, California), who passed away on April 22, 2024, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Richard Clifford Whitaker to pay them a last tribute.
As we bid Richard farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Richard is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
