William Alexander Porteous III

I was an employee, actually Mr. John J. Hainkel's secretary about 10 years ago, and as I attended Mr. Hainkel's service fairly recently I was very happy to once again see Mr. Porteous.

Heartfelt sympathy and condolences. I only learned of Bill's death this morning. He was a truly remarkable human being and I was very saddened by the news. He and the entire family are in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Porteous Family,

I was very deeply saddened to learn of the death of your husband, father and grandfather. My family had the pleasure and good fortune to be Mr. Porteous's clients for the past twenty plus years. He made us feel as though we were his family, as well as a part of our family. His patience and encouragement kept my parents grounded during the most difficult time of their lives. We thanked God for our aquaintance with him. He will be sincerely missed by many....

My condolences to the Porteous family. I had the good fortune and pleasure to be employed by PTH&J for 10 years, and remember fondly Mr. P's patience, wit and intelligence. He will be missed, and you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
