I'll never forget the kindness of the Porter family- they helped me get my start in business by generously granting my business an opportunity when we were starting out. Working for the Porters was like being a part of a family, and I never experienced anything else like it. I worked alongside Ben on many projects and he was a pleasure to work with.
I'm so sorry to hear about this loss. Pat and family, please know I'm thinking of you and you are in my prayers.
May God bless you...

Ben and Patricia built our home in late 1995-1996 when John was stationed here at Eglin.

While Ben worked hard on our home, Patricia took care of all the details, even cooking meals for the workers to keep them working. We are so sorry Patricia to hear of your loss. Our prayers and condolences are with you and your...

My mom shared a memory with me about Ben that occurred about twenty years ago. Matt had gotten into a little trouble and needed someone to pick him up. My mom was not able to go, but called Ben and he went. Matt was so relieved to see him. Of course, Ben gave him a stern "talking to" after he knew he was okay. I was touched, and am grateful that he took the time to care for my brother. He and Matt are rejoicing together now and maybe sharing a laugh. For us here, our hearts ache for you. We...
