Jack Porter Obituary
Jack was born Sept. 10, 1937, in Olcott, and was the son of Richard and Isabel Voght Porter. Jack was the husband to the late Mary R. "Bunny" Porter, who passed away Jan. 2, 2015.
A devoted husband, father, papa and friend, Jack's quiet strength and patient nature left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing him. He found joy in simple pleasures - cheering on the Buffalo Bills and the New York Yankees with unwavering loyalty and spending time outdoors feeding the neighborhood squirrels.
Jack is lovingly remembered by his children, son, Jack E. Porter Jr.; daughters, Melanie (Mark) Barta and Amanda (Mark) Martin. His legacy continues through his grandchildren, Allison (Brandon) Whittle, Nicole Porter, Lucas Barta, Madeline Barta, Christian Barta, Maggie Martin and Ian Martin; and his great-grandson, Benjamin Whittle.
Those who knew Jack will remember him as a kind and gentle soul. May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.
Jack was preceded in death by his parents; his loving wife, Bunny; and a brother, Charles Porter.
There will be no services at this time.

To Jack's Family,
We're so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. Jack and Chuck were my older cousins. When we were young, I remember going to Gramma Porter's for Sunday dinner. After dinner, the adults would play cards, and Jack, Chuck and I would play games. We always had such a good time, those were the good ole days. Jack was a special person and will be missed. Love, Carol (Volschow) and Dick Miles

To Jack's family;
I worked with Bunny at the Rehab Center in mid 80s. She always talked about you, Jack. She adored you. I know you were a terrific father and husband. May you rest in eternal peace with your darling wife.
