Robert Porter Obituary
He was born on October 14, 1962, in Johnstown, a son of the late John and Patricia Reynolds Porter.

Upon his retirement in April, he focused on his passions, enjoying a round of golf and his unwavering support for Pittsburgh sports teams. Bob was a proud father whose love for his children knew no bounds. He thought highly of them and would do anything to ensure their happiness and well-being.
He is survived by his 2 children, Nathan and Andrea Porter, a brother, Richard Porter (Debbie Breier), 2 sisters, Susan (Scott) Linder and Lisa (Randy) Runyan, and several nieces and nephews.
