To the family of Charlie Porcelli,

My prayers are with you. Take hope and comfort in that Charlie is now at peace with the Lord. I worked with Charlie at NADC for many years. He was a wonderful person, a great engineer, co-worker, and friend. He will be missed by the many people who worked with him. I regret that I could not come Friday night because of the weather and unable to come Saturday.

May the Lord's peace be with you,

John W. Heap
