C. Porter Vaughan Jr.

Condolences from the Philadelphia Athletics Historical Society. Max Silberman, Vice Chairman

While sitting next to Porter at a University of Richmond-VCU baseball game a few years ago, I commented on how few Spiders were Virginians. Porter said," That bothered me, too, so I endowed a baseball scholarship with the condition that the recipient must be a Virginian. Porter was a truly great man who blessed many lives.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Mr. Vaughan at First Virginia Bank-Colonial. He was respected and admired by all of the employees. My deepest sympathy to his family.

My father worked with Mr. Vaughan in the real estate business. It was always my understanding that Mr. Vaughan followed my father around for a week and in the week my father sold three houses. My father then left Mr. Vaughan on his own while he went bird hunting in King and Queen County. This must be a true story since Mr. Vaughan told it to me.

Dearest Family, I worked with Porter extensively at the Virginia Association of REALTORS, primarily with the Virginia Real Estate Foundation. I have always referred to him, along with Mr. Jack Bates, as two of the finest examples of southern gentlemanry that ever, ever lived. He was such a lovely man, always giving of his time to help others and his profession. I am so sorry for your loss -- our loss -- but I am so thankful for the privilege of having known him. Know that he was so loved by all of us that he touched -- in reaches farther than you can imagine.

Our deepest sympathy to his family from the P. L. Travis family.

CPIII, Roy, and the Family: My thoughts and prayers are with each of you.
