Norm Porter |
He was a quiet man, who smiled plenty and always gave a kind word. Love for his family radiated from him. His calm and reserved manner hid a deep sense of humor and powerful feelings. I'll never forget when it was the day before I married his daughter, when he took me aside and said, "Now, we haven't discussed the dowry..." I choked out some reply, and then a huge smile overtook his face and he laughed. I'll never forget it. Norm Porter was indeed a great man.
Life is a journey, a road we all take, with but one destination. In the end, we leave behind a legacy. Norm's legacy is his children, grandchildren, friends, and a powerful faith which sustained him and his wife throughout. He is a role model to be cherished, emulated, and remembered. I loved him and regarded him as a personal hero. His passing has made this world a poorer place, and enriched Heaven even more. God bless you, Norm Porter.
