John Richard Porter

Thinking about my baby brother that died when I was a young teen. John Richard Porter born February 8th, 1972. He was the baby of the three of us. Cute as can be with dark hair and olive skin. He had a passion for sports at such a young age. He loved baseball and football. We called him channel four because that was at the time ESPN. I believe my kids still think I grew up with black and white TV. He loved all sports, strawberry ice cream and hamburgers. He loved playing with friends and riding his go cart. He was a lap sitter. I always remember seeing him on someones lap probably because he was the baby!. He died so young before he made it to middle school. Meningitis which now children can have a vaccine. He was a special kid.
