Whitey was meant to serve his community. He was the shoulder to lean on and a listening ear. He was the welcoming smile when you entered the room and a fantastic storyteller. Whitey had the ability to make you feel like you were the only person in the room. A natural born Barber who had a true skill, he was the owner of the Royal Barbershop for over 60 years.

An avid outdoors man who enjoyed fishing and being in his garden. He was a kind man with a loyal and trusting heart. He would help anyone in their time of need and never thought twice about it.

A University of Kentucky basketball fan through and through. He cheered on the Big Blue from, Ohio every chance he could.

Preceded by his parents, Albert and Judy Clark and Mossie and Willie Southerland, grandmother, Abby Catherine Slusher, his beloved wife, Mary Joyce Clark, and siblings, Bill Clark, Jackie Miracle, Joyce Tolliver, James Southerland, and Llyod Southerland.
