I attended the service in Santa Barbara. As a neighbor to the Porter family in Torrance much of my pre-high school youth was spent in the company of Brad, Bart and James along with their mom and dad. Dr Porter was always a kind man. I remember him with pipe in mouth always busy around the yard. We enjoyed the macadamia nuts from the tree in the yard and playing in the oil fields nearby. Dr. or Mr. Porter would drive us to school many times over the years. Recently I passed thru Visalia to visit the marker. Lots of good memories of a special family and a very special dad for the boys.

Our love and condolences with the passing of Tad, our friend and colaborer with Christ. His indomitable spirit, cheerful demeanor and gentle manner will remain with us forever.

My thought and prayers are with you and your family at this time of adjustment . Your faith will sustain you and you know he is home with God. I have many good memories of high school days.

Dear Liz and Dolly,
Sincere Condolences to you and your whole family on the death of your brother.  His interesting life story testifies to a life well lived.

Uncle Tad we will certainly miss your physical presence, wit, and sense of humor.  We are sure that heaven is a place that we can rest and enjoy the never ending light.   Grace, Peace, and Blessings to you, Aunt Marilyn, and families of Brad, Bart, and Jim.

Our sympathies are sent to Marilyn and the Porter family.  How well I remember Tad, Tom, Dolly (Mary) and Liz! Living across the street from each other for so many years and all the times we had together cannot be forgotten. Love and Prayers go to your entire family at this time. Would love to hear from and "catch up" with you and renew old times. 63 East Nelson Road, Sequim, WA. 98382 
Love, Duke and Dodie (Guido) Sparks

Aunt Marilyn, Brad, Bart, and Jim:  We just wanted to extend our condolences to each of you on the passing of Uncle Tad.  What many great memories we've had over the years.  How glad I am that I got to visit, one last time, while in Santa Barbara last July!  God bless to all.

David, Lisa, Emma, Will, and Jon-Graham

Our sympathies to Marilyn and the family. May the comfort of Christ surround you through friends, family, and the prayers of the many whose lives he touched.
