Dr Porter was my favorite anesthisologist both at TG and St Joe's. He was there for my appendectomy, and 2 nose surgeries. I was a student nurse at TG when we first met. May he be at peace. Karen Overly McCoy##imported-begin##Karen McCoy##imported-end##

I was saddened to read in the paper of the passing of the wonderful anesthiologist Dr. Porter. I first met Dr. Porter when I was a new R.N. There was an incident that gave me the great pleasure of meeting Dr. Porter. From that moment on I was touched by his professionalism, the manner in which he treated his patients and most of all his compassion for others. Years later it so happened that Dr. Porter would be my own anesthesist. As he walked into my room a sudden relief of anticipation was removed from my anxieties of the day. I truly, then, realized what a caring, loving person he was. I have a very difficult airway but your father, relative, friend put my mind at ease and step by step he walked me through a difficult situation.
I think of Dr. Porter often and so happy to have had the opportunity to know him personally and professionally. May God bless him and bring peace to all of you, his survivors.
My thoughts are with all of you and please know that there are others who will feel his loss.

Accept our deepest sympathies. Although I did not know the family as well as I did Alan we will all miss your loved one. Alan and I shared a common problem and have been friends for many years. He was a very faithful loyal friend and did his best for others. Warn Regards, John P. Nagle##imported-begin##Mr/Mrs. John & Cynthia Nagle##imported-end##

I have fond memories of Dr. Porter
as he taught me to tape over the
epidural ports, so that there wouldn't be any room for error. I
have missed Dr. Porter since he retired in 1994. He is sadly missed.
He is a fine Dr. that no one has ever been able to replace.##imported-begin##mary ross r.n.##imported-end##
I will always remember his stories, his smile, and the gentle way he spoke to the OB patients at our Birth Center. He also kept us updated on his son's acting career.##imported-begin##Jeanne Oden##imported-end##
