Dr. Porter Jackson Crow

I just retired and spent some time looking up people that impacted my success in life and Dr. Crow was the first one I searched for. So sad he´s gone. I met him at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, I took three classes with him and never missed one! He was that good. He was a great teacher. Kind, smart, wise, and pleasant. I still have the text books from his classes for reference from time to time. May he RIP.

Porter was my professor in the drama dept at the University of Dallas. Great teacher

It pains me to learn of Porter Crow's departure from this earth. He was my favorite professor, a kindly gentleman who always knew how to incorporate enlightenment with criticism while imparting the learner with a curious desire to want to explore whatever it was further. He was a good looking classy guy; I can picture him now, looking very Palm Beach in his Ralph Lauren dress shirt and loafers. Who didn't love him? I hope I never forget him!

‘Dear Heart’ Dr. Crow was more than a ‘professor;’ he was the essence of a ‘gentle-man’. He didn’t teach, he guided you with his passion and a love for his students. His presence touched many lives; mine was one.

‘Captain my Captain.’ Thank you Dr. Crow!

Dr. Crow, truly a one of a kind. I will miss your smiles and compliments to all...no one can ever fill your shoes. I know you're up high looking down on us but do know that you will be forever in our hearts. I'm glad I had the opportunity to take all your classes at Barry! Thank you for being a wonderful person.

I am thankful to have known Dr. Crow during the years I worked at Barry and was a student there. He knew how to bring out the very best in all his students. The class I took with him will always be one of my favorite memories. He was a very special person and will be missed by all who knew him.

Dr. Crow, you will be greatly missed. I cried when Milly told me that you were gone. She told me Dr Crow would not want you to be sad. I knew that but it is hard to lose someone you looked up to someone who always had a kind word. I can hear him say Hi Gourgeous or Hi Darling. I am saddened that I will not be able to make lasagna for him anymore or bring chocolate cake(one of his favorites). My group opened his eyes to new plays by Tyler Perry as he opened our eyes to 12 Angry Men and A...

I just came home from the funeral service held for Dr. Porter Crow, where I concluded that I was the luckiest man at an otherwise sad occasion. I was lucky only because that same great, generous and feisty Dr. Porter Crow endowed me with love, kindness and understanding as if we grew up on the same street. I am no less amazed at what I saw and who said what during this short tribute. It would be incomplete if I didn’t summarize a few of the precious moments Dr. Porter gave me to share with...

Dr. Crow, thank you for touching my life. You encouraged each and every student to do their best and was always there if someone needed help. Know matter what you asked Dr. Crow about literature, or anything for that matter, he knew the answer. Every time I see his face on TV, I smile and think of
the many classes I took and how much I learned from him.
And So My dearheart, I know God has a special place in heaven for you.
To the Porter family, words are not enough to express...
