WINSLOW – Clarence Whitman, 75, of Winslow, passed away Thursday April 7, 2022 surrounded by his wife and children.

He was born Dec. 13, 1946 to Llewellyn Ellis Whitman and Robecca Collier of Oakland.

He worked at Ralston-Purina chicken factory and later Maine Cascade Ironworks although there wasn’t anything he put his hands on that he couldn’t fix.

Clarence had a love for anything with an engine. He was best known as the #54 Plumb Crazy car at Unity Raceway but raced several tracks throughout the years. Equal to racing he had a love and passion for riding and working on motorcycles. Clarence and his wife Dot made years of memories riding together and taking trips on their Harley with family and friends. Clarence will always be remembered for his willingness to help a friend, stranger or neighbor in need.

Clarence was predeceased by his parents Llewellyn Whitman and Robecca Taylor; brother, Llewellyn Whitman; and nephew, Gary Bucknam.

He is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Dorothy Dunham Whitman; his sister, Bonnie and husband Ronald Bucknam; brother, Robert Whitman and wife Elizabeth, brother, Michael Taylor and partner Dawn; daughter, Victoria and husband Tim Davis and his grandchildren Timothy, Mark, Crystal and Gavin and his great-granddaughter Mikayla Coombs; son, Travis Whitman and wife Hiroko and his grandchildren Daniel and Nathaniel; son, Richard Whitman and wife Brenda and his grandchildren PJ, Jessica, Emily and Ty; son, Dennis Whitman and his granddaughter Emma; daughter, Keisha Whitman and fiance Scott and his grandchildren Danica and Charles; son, Joshua Whitman and wife Jessica and his grandchildren Jasmine and Jaxon; daughter, Sara and husband Dustin Taylor and his grandchildren Wyatt and Sofia; daughter, Natasha and her husband Jacob Solomon and his grandchildren Noah and Patrick; daughter, Samantha-Jo Whitman and grandson Jasper. Clarence is also survived by several friends whom he considered family, Ron Clark, Tom Clark, Luke Beaulieu and Jesse Choate as well as many others.

A celebration of life will be announced and held at a later date.
