Joseph Hamilton Porter

Met Joe in ft Sill Oklahoma while in the national guard, my best friend who went with me to basic training and I quickly became friends with him. Sometime around 1971 he played in the pro tournament in New Orleans. He stayed at my friends apartment and skipped the pro am to go play a round of golf with us instead, I have to say we did a little partying a few nights too...thanks for the memories Joe RIP

I was a ASU teammate of Joe and played the PGA tour with him. He was always so good to me ( welcoming me from Canada) . He gave me the nickname " Carrot "He was a buddy. a friend. I will not forget you Joey. "The Carrott"

Anyone who knew Joe, will never forget him, no matter how many years have past. Beth is a special person who lived with him so many years and who Joe said, she saved my life more than once! He leaves a legacy for his family that no matter how many times you fail or stumble, you never quit on life. Its a precious memory of Joe -he never gave up! We will always miss him. Beth and family we hold you in our hearts and prayers.

You were one of the best friends I ever had. I miss you & I wonderful conversations about anything & everything. You were a blessing in my life! RIP my special friend.

Joe and I were buddies back when he played the Tour and I was writing book about it, and also writing for Golf and Golf Digest. One of the greatest guys out there. I recently moved back to Phoenix area and just found out he had passed and I'm saddened that I didn't get to talk to him. Hoping to chat with someone in his family. R.I.P. Joe. Keep it always in the short grass.

When I was working at CBRE in the 80's, my daughters were still at home. When I would come home, they would ask me, "what did Porter say today"! Often I had some story to tell them and we would all laugh. He entertained us at CBRE with stories I have never forgotten - when Josh was born, when he was in the playoff at the US Open Championship, especially when he made a deal!! We all loved Joe - he always made us laugh!! We miss him and I think of him often. Those were good days! ...

Recently we were saddened to hear of Joe's passing as we were out of town this summer. He was one of a kind and everyone who met him, never forgot him! I was employed at CBRE as an industrial saleswoman and often competed and cooperated with Joe and Pat Feeney! It was a joy to hear the banter of Joe Porter! I really loved Joe as a brother, friend and co-worker. He loved his wife and kids - he was so proud of you!!We are sorry we weren't there to offer our condolences but we know Joe may...

Joey was fried of since since 1968. He would bunk with us in Chicago when he played golf every year at The Wester Open. He was at our house when he was two ahead on the 18th hole winning his first PGA event. Unfortunately he lost that year, but, only comment was I will win next week. He left the Tour in 1976. Joined CB Richard Ellis and was number 1 in Industrial real estate brokerage at CB for many successive years. He was very smart, a heart salesman and the fastest at doing numbers in his...

I met Joe only once in the Arizona National Guard. We had two weeks of summer camp deployment in 1970 at an Army base in southern Arizona. I remember he came into our barracks lugging a huge golf club bag and a small duffel bag.

He was so out going and full of life. He called everyone Lukey..... and it was apparent he was somebody special. While the rest of us were doing our maneuvers in the hot desert, Joe had a lineup of Army Officers wanting to play golf with him at the...
