4A-SEA COAST ECHO?THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1982
Mr. P.E. Porter Sr.
Mr. P.E. Porter was laid to rest Tuesday in the Gardens of Memory Cemetery, Bay St. Louis.
Known to many Hancocktains for his years of being a Pontiac dealer and service station operator, he will be long remembered.
A person dedicated to Hancock County, he was always interested in the well being of his neighbor.
He was a specialist when it came to barbecuing redfish, and oh, how good it would taste!
Mr. Pete was a friend of ours for many years.
A director for 26 years of Peoples Federal Savings and Loan Association in Bay St. Louis, the Pennsylvania native found a home in Hancock County when he came here in the early part of this century to work on the old Louisville and Nashville Railroad bridge across the Bay.
For his wife, children and grandchildren, as with so many others, Mr. Pete will remain in memory.
