It is with much sadness that I learned thru the Bar Association of the death of my Courthouse Friend, Porfirio Diaz.  I met Porfirio years ago in the basement of the Family Law Center Building at the coffee bar.  Over the years we shared many, many cups of coffee and an occasional lunch together.  About the only two things Porfirio and I had in the way of a common background was we both went to STCL and we were both practicing attorneys.

In my 50 years of practicing law I have probably met fewer than a dozen attorneys that were equal in quality, ethics, and approach to the practice of law as Porfirio.  He is one of the few attorneys that had a deep understanding of every aspect of law -- patents, tradmarks, construction law, trail law, contract law, family law, etc.  I could discuss any type of legal issue with Porfirio.  Additionally he was just a really nice, great guy.

I am sorry for the loss of a husband, brother, father, father-in-law, grandfather and good friend.  Porfirio was a gentleman, an Aggie--through-in-through and was delightful debater on subjects of his interest.  I always learned from the exchanges and I know he did as well.  He was well-read and up to date and could provide a good civics session on the role of government and taxation.
Porfirio was a veteran and we discussed counter-intelligence strategy and operations based on his experience as well as his thoughts.
I enjoyed his friendship and interaction.  I miss it.

Our deepest condolence for your loss.  May the Good Lord watch over this fellow soldier and friend.

Most Sincerely,
Joseph Frankie III

On behalf of Poppy's classmates from  the TAMU Corps of Cadets and Company G-1 we send sincere condolences to the family.  We will be praying for God's comfort and support at this time.

Poppy was very well liked and respected by all of us.

On behalf of the Ratcliff’s, Hilda, Debbie, and myself, we are deeply saddened to learn of Porfirio "Papi's" passing.  Although our connection may have been distant in recent years, the pain of losing a family member is a shared sorrow.  Please accept our heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. 

For me, Papi will be remembered for the unforgettable fishing trip the family took in Galveston, and his spirit will continue to live on in our hearts. 

You are all in our thoughts and prayers. If there's anything we can do to help or support you, please don't hesitate to reach out. 

With love and sympathy, 

Gary Ratcliff, and on behalf of Debbie and Hilda
