My condolances to the family. Although it has been years since I last saw Porky, I have many fond memories of him. Working along side him in the Orlando Sentinel Pressroom, he kept our spirits up. Always light hearted and cheerful. I still have the recipe Mrs. Craft wrote down for me, so I could make " Buck Eyes " I will cherish it forever. Rest in Peace my friend.
