My deepest sympathy to Mr. Porter's family and friends. George Porter gave me my first job in 1967 as a trainee legal secretary when I told him I wanted to be the next Della Street!

On behalf of all the staff at Heritage Gardens, we would like to express our sincerest condolences to George's family. He was a fine man, and it was an honor to know and serve him. Our thoughts are with you, and we will always have a warm place in our hearts for George. Even in his later years, he was the consumate gentleman. We loved him very much and will miss him greatly.
