Richard Johnston "Rick" Porter II

Sorry to hear what happened to him his family are in my prayers

I think I still have super 8 videos of Ricky I took in Windwood when he was about 15. I wanted to be a movie producer and he was the only one willing to star in my production.

Wow I accidentally ran across this he and I were friends in Houston where I was in radio and we did business together he was a very nice guy and I can empathize that is gone God bless the family

Rest in Peace my love. Still so sad.

In 1971 at Cy-Fair HS, Ricky Porter wowed the crowd in a drama department production of “Androcles and the Lion.” His leonine voice, facial expressions, timing, and agility astonished the audience. I recall laughing so hard that I cried. As his Government-Economics teacher, I regarded Ricky as a careful listener, quick thinker, and eager participant in class discussions. He was President of the Student Council, and I was the Student Council sponsor, so I had the privilege of collaborating with him on council business last period every day. High-spirited and restless, he nevertheless followed through and proved himself a solid student body leader. I was sorry to come across his obituary today while visiting the CFISD website. From my vantage point now as a teacher of gifted students, I see Ricky as having been not just a smart guy, but a “gifted” one. If so, that means that his life was a good bit more complicated than I realized back then. My sympathies go to his family and friends. Chris Montgomery Lay, ACE Academy, Austin, TX.

i knew Rick from 1994 in beverly hills to my move to Texas in 1996 and to his death. we were involved in several businesses, and had a lot of fun. Rick will be missed. we used to laugh and laugh until we cried. even when we had to do work on my house..4-5 months before he passed we were laughing away.

I knew Rick from his time on Long Island at his summer home. He was married to Debbie at the time and I saw Lindsey three days after her birth. He was a great friend.

I am shocked to read this. Though it's been many years ago, my very first real boyfriend will be missed, and never forgotten. Until we meet again Rick. Anne

Rick, you were a good friend in high school, and I loved seeing you at our reunions. You will truly be missed, so rest in peace and know that you were loved very much! Alisha Winne Daab

So sorry for your family Rick because they are going to miss you so much. You were very sweet in high school and loved talking to you at 1972 reunions. God bless and you and Pat can reminisce about the old days in Winwood!

I was sad to hear about Ricky passing. It's still hard to believe as he was always bigger than life. We had a lot of fun together when we were all young out in Windwood Subdivision. We'll miss you Ricky.

Was truly saddened to hear about Rick's untimely death, as he left us too soon. I, too, am reminiscing about the many fun times all the old neighborhood gang had in our younger days hanging out in Windwood Park, and at our occasional get-togethers through the years. Those were the days, my friend. We thought they'd never end. RIP Rick. You will be missed. With sincere sympathy to Allison and Rosalind.
