Our prayers are with the family. Worked at Galloway Lumber Co. with Lyall and enjoyed working with him. It is great to have a God that is so powerful to call upon him and place our faith in him.

I am a not too distant relative, maybe a great nephew. I remember Lyall and the children.
I was born in Harmony. Dad was Joe Porter,son of Guy Porter who moved his family to Farmington, Ar.. Guys wife, my grandmother, was
a King.I have many fond memories of the Porter family and am so sorry Lyall is no longer with us.
My love to you all,
Alvin
