Dear Porter Family—
This picture has been hanging in my office for over 25 years! When I started my teaching career in Danvers in 1993, Warren was the custodian at Highlands School and helped me carry in my boxes. Then this group used to have a great day on the ocean every August for many years. Warren would always set it up by sending us a post card to remind us to show up!
He was a great man and gave me plenty of good advice as a young teacher. My sincerest condolences to your family.

Warren was a beautiful man through and through I always loved chatting with him. He always had time for me and any child. I will miss him.
