Forever in our hearts

I met Clyde through the Wellness Community (Brain Tumor Support Group). My husband, David, passed away shortly before Clyde. One of David's goals was to someday have a one-on-one conversation with Clyde. They didn't get to do that here, but I'm sure they're having a wonderful chat up in Heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with the Porter family at this time.

I only knew Clyde for a few years, but in that time saw how dedicated he was to our Rotary Club and the community. One year,it started raining during our Arts & Crafts Fair. Clyde went out and purchased large pieces of plywood so that our clients could walk on dry areas instead of muddy grass.

Clyde was a hero of mine. A person who did so much to better his communities. HE LIVED our Rotary motto, "SERVICE ABOVE SELF". All of his philanthropy done quietly,
with out any credit claimed.

"Well done good and faithful servant"

We are all better people by having known Clyde and his beautiful spirit.

It was my good fortune to know Clyde Porter. I am saddened by his passing.

I saw a beautiful flower today. It reminded me of Clyde. Forever in our hearts, forever on our minds. Missed more than words can express.
