It is with profound sorrow and a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of a local legend, Rob Porter. A true gentleman and a pillar of the community, Rob dedicated his life to selfless service, leaving an indelible mark on the township, especially in Officer. His legacy is one of unwavering commitment and genuine care for the well-being of others. Over the decades, Rob became synonymous with community service, embodying the spirit of generosity and kindness that defines a true local hero.
His contributions to the township were vast and varied, touching the lives of countless residents. Whether it was through civic initiatives, charitable endeavors, or simply being a reliable presence in times of need, Rob’s impact resonated far and wide.
Our immediate thoughts and heartfelt prayers go out to his beloved wife Carol, his son Geoff and wife Jayne, his son Gavin and wife Toni, as well as the six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren who were the light of his life. Their grief is shared by a community that recognizes and appreciates the profound influence the Porter family has had over the years.

The bond they shared was not only the foundation of their family but also the source of strength that empowered Rob to dedicate himself to the service of others.
As we mourn the loss of this remarkable individual, we must also celebrate the positive transformation he brought to our community. Today, our township is better, stronger, and more compassionate because of the tireless efforts of the Porters.
In honoring Rob Porter’s memory, let us remember the lessons of selflessness and community spirit he embodied. May he rest in peace, knowing that his legacy will continue to inspire acts of kindness and service within our community for generations to come.
