William's obituary

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of William A. Porter Jr. who preferred to be addressed as Bill. He was born on July 27, 1961, and left us all too soon on May 26, 2025. Graciously, he is remembered by many whose lives have been touched by his loving, kind, and thoughtful personality.

William is survived by his loving wife of 33 years, Amy Porter. The loss is equally shared by their children; Tabitha (Mic) Riedl, David Flugge, Tracy (Joe) Engler, Christopher (Sabrina) Wanhala, and Breeanna Porter. 10 Grandchildren. The light of his life extends to his mother, Karen Quinnell, 6 Sisters, 2 Brothers, 2 Sisters in law, 2 Brothers in law. Many nieces, nephews, family and friends. Their lives were irrevocably touched by his generosity, kindness, and warmth.

He joins in rest his father, William Porter Sr. and his step-father, Darrell Quinnell, perhaps to continue the discourse only fathers and sons share. William’s memory will certainly live on in the hearts of those he loved and those who loved him.

A Celebration of Life for William will be held on June 7, 2025, at 2:00 PM at Lake George Regional Park. In these moments, we will come together to remember and commemorate a life that was given in service to others, and a heart that was always welcoming and warm.

His memory will remain a beacon to those of us left behind. A reminder of his unwavering love, his profound kindness, and his thoughtful nature. May we take comfort in knowing that his spirit lives on in the lives he touched and the love he shared.
