Dr. Michael S. Porder

My continued condolences to Mike's family, friends and colleagues.

Mike was my primary supervisor in my early years of developing as a psychiatrist, on my way to becoming a psychoanalyst and he remained a lifetime friend and source of support. I do miss him.

Mike & Peggy are Ardsley lobby friends. Over the 41 years that we have lived in the Ardsley, we often saw them as we were coming and going. They both had greeted us with radiant smiles as if we were their best friends, and although we rarely spoke more than a few pleasantries in passing, their warm greetings and sparkling eyes contributed greatly to making this building our cherished home. We will miss Mike, and we send sincere condolences to Peggy and the Porder family.

Mike´s death is a devastating loss. Having met him only a few years ago in London, I was instantly struck by what a special man he was. He was exceptionally kind, with a wicked sense of humour. Our friendship has been a highlight of the recent years for me, and I am forever grateful for the time I got to spend with him. I will never forget his passion for Bach, his appreciation for the small pleasures in life, and his generous spirit. It was so clear to me how loved Mike was, and how many...

I am devastated to hear of Dr. Porder's death. He was a tremendously important person to me, for many years, and a source of enormous warmth and wisdom. Please let me know about a memorial service if/when one is planned, as I want so much to pay my most profound respects. Thank you.

I saw Michael Porder for a consultation in 1968. I was a young confused Pathologist and the following week I was on the couch 5xs a week. My Analysis with Michael changed my whole life. He was a wonderful, caring Analyst with a unique talent for listening. I ended up followed in his footsteps and becoming a Psychiatrist, Psychoanalyst, and supervising ad training analyst. My wife , children, and I owe Michael a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid. He will be sorely missed.
