Dorothy,
I am very sorry to hear of the sudden loss of your brother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I never had the opportunity to run with Dan, but we just had a very animated conversation about it a few weeks back. He was so looking forward to running with his son. He was a gift to all who met him.

Charlene, I am very sorry to hear about your father's sudden death. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sincerely, Shirley Lariviere

We knew Dan from the Trim and the Tranny Plant. He was a sweet person with a ready smile. Keep running Dan. There is no death just a changing of worlds. God Bless!!!

I'm so sorry to hear about Dan. I knew him when he was just a little guy. My parents were friends of his parents a long time ago. My condolences to all of the family.

I am saddened by the loss of someone I did not get to know as well and as much as I would have wanted too. I met Dan at the Windsor transmission plant as a fellow employee and runner/ triathlete. -Dan and I even ran for the Windsor trans . Challenge cup team - he of course always the faster runner. I always marvelled at his both fun loving outlook yet semi-professional attitude towards running and competing. He inspired me tremendously to continue my running and competing. Although I do not run marathons - only halfs- Dan - your spirit will still be there with me - every step of the way - driving me to every finish line finishing in the diginified "Daniel Porter "manner. - head high proud 'I did it again" . Definitely the most "professional amateur" I have ever met. My next race I dedicated to you.
- My deepest condolences to Dans' family. the running world mourns today.

I ran with Dan and his son. He was a great friend that will be missed dearly.
My heart was broken to hear of his loss at something him and I enjoyed more then anything.(Marthons)
Running for me and my dear friend Dan was something we both did to overcome some things in life that didn't comfort us the way running did.
I didn't just know Dan from running I also knew him for years at Gm. He unloaded my truck.
I will miss my dear friend so much and will always think of him as I run.
He also will be in my prayers forever.
With love from your running buddy Paul Haworth & family.

Dan was an inspiration to all of us and a great neighbour. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of his friends and family at this time. He will be deeply missed.

To an old friend and coworker for many years at the Trim plant ~ I will never for get your great smile and contagious laugh. Rest in peace old friend.

On behalf of the Executive Board of CAW Local 1973, its members and the Shop Committees of the Lear and Transmission Units wish to extend our deepest sympathies to Dan's family.

My condolences go out to Char and her family at this difficult time. There is a funny memory I would love to share. Char, remember when we ran out of gas at the busiest corner on the expressway and we thought we were doomed! .. we called your dad and he was there in just minutes with a huge tank of gas waiting to help us out, making jokes the whole time... the best line he said was .. "you just wanted a free tank!" Cherish those memories always. What a great man he was.

On behalf of the Running Factory we would like to send our deepest sympathy to the Porter Family. Dan was a great guy and a great role model to all. He will be missed

I had the honour to work with Dan at the Transmission Plant. I'll always remember his cheeky grin and positive attitude. Sincere condolences from Ann and I.

I know uncle Danny touched the lives and hearts of many people. My sympathy goes out to the entire family. I know this was a shock to all of us. His memories will be forever in our hearts, and he will run forever through our minds. He will be deeply missed.
