It is with the heaviest of hearts that I inform the Live Steam community (especially Mid-Western and South-Eastern) of David Porter Sr's passing this morning. He was a charter member of Chattanooga Society of Model Engineers and member of Mid South Live Steamers. He leaves behind a host of family members, some of which are members here.
No arrangements have been made as of yet. More details to follow as they come available.

Re: David Porter short Obituary
Sorry to hear about his passing Nick. He was a great guy and friend. I was just thinking last night about how many years ago I skipped work one day so him and I could chase the 3985 together south out of St Louis. That was one of my favorite chases.
He will be missed!
High greens David!

Re: David Porter short Obituary
Agreed! He will be missed. He's one of the people that I remember from a long time ago, him having been around the hobby in the South for quite a number of decades. He was actually friendly to people, including younger people, in a time when a lot of the hobby was populated with quite a few people who wouldn't give you a moment's attention at all.
I'm sure that you will feel his loss for a long time. Hope that the good memories all come flooding back quickly.
