I was deeply saddened to hear of your father’s passing our families have always been close. I am certain in my belief that your parents are now with our Moms in a better place. My deepest condolences love you all and may the Lord give the strength you need in this time of sorrow.
A great role model and “bonus dad” to so many! The Davenport family sends love and condolences.
My condolences to all his children.
Mr. Ortiz was the first principal I worked for. It was an honor and a privilege to work for a PRINCIPAL, an ADMINISTRATOR and a FRIEND that cared. In the mid 1980’s we had no monitors or securities at PHS. We had a principal that was RESPECTED and LOVED, a father to all. EVERY YEAR he celebrated Porter’s birthday with mariachis, cake and made SURE EVERYONE got a piece of birthday cake.
Heaven may receive you with open arms and THANK YOU for believing in me . Rest in Peace.
Our deepest sympathy to you and your family in this time of sorrow. Your Dad is in God’s care now and what better care can we ask for when it comes to our Dad. Now we pray for the comfort in the days ahead.
