MARVIN PORTER - MATH TEACHER

Dear Friends -

Our dear friend and math teacher, Marvin Porter, passed away on Monday, Dec 20, 2010. He had been in ill health for a long time .... but he still had his spirit and sense of humor. I will post his obituary in the RHS Memorials as soon as it is published in the San Antonio paper, but here is the information I have right now:

You can send condolences to the Funeral Home or to his beloved sister,

Frances Goslin
127 Inspiration Drive
San Antonio, TX 78228

I traded correspondence with him for the last 40 years and we had several LONG conversations on the phone. He could talk!!! The one thing he said most often was that his years teaching at RHS were the most fun he ever had. He really loved us kids. I know several of you contacted him over the years and told him what a great teacher he was and he appreciated that tremendously.

Marvin C. Porter Jr., age 85, passed away on December 21, 2010. He was born on November 21, 1925 in Noxapater, MS. He was a Veteran in the Army Air Corp during WWII. He was a teacher and taught in various school districts and retired with the Randolph I.S.D. as a math teacher.

Today my family and I, escorted by a full compliment of Patriot Guard Riders and law enforcement officers from Okaloosa and Escambia Counties, took my father on his final earthly journey and buried him with full military honors next to my mother at Barancas National Cemetary, Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Florida. Today Americans honored a true national hero. (Read obituary and sign guestbook click above link).
