Andrew John Porter
1934-2019
Peacefully and surrounded by his
loving family, Andrew John Porter
passed away on December 11, 2019
in Trail, BC. Andy was born in
Vancouver, BC. on December 2, 1934
to parents Mary and Andy.
Andy grew up in Trail and started his
career as a butcher working for his
uncle. He moved to Kaslo in 1956
where he met the love of his life Betty
(Aldous). They were married in 1957.
Andy and Betty owned and operated
Eric’s Meat Market for 40 years before
passing the torch to their son Doug.
After retirement Andy enjoyed doing
woodworking projects, trips with
family and watching sports. Andy and
Betty often made the 4 hour round
trip from Kaslo to Trail to watch their
grandsons play hockey or baseball. His
grandsons were his pride and joy. Andy
will be remembered for his great sense
of humour, his love of life, family and
all the people he met along the way. He
welcomed everyone to his home and
would most likely offer them a beer!
Andy was predeceased by his sister
Rosemary Christensen, brothers-inlaw
Charlie Christensen and Charlie
Klein.
Left to mourn his loss are his wife
Betty, son Doug (Denise), daughter
Holly (Derrick) Bouma; grandsons
Erik (Morgan), and Luke (Alexa);
step-granddaughters Jennifer, Shauna
(Ryan), and Tara (Yoeun); sister-inlaw
Ruth Klein; nieces and nephews
Karen (Ed), Rick, Kathy (Andre), Joan
(Brad), Ron (Deanne) and Jennifer
(Gary).
A celebration of life will be held at a
later date in Kaslo, BC. Eric Toneff of
Alternatives Funeral and Cremation
Services has been entrusted with
arrangements.
Donations in Andy’s memory may be
made to the Parkinson Society of BC.
You are invited to leave a personal
message of condolence at the family’s
online register at www.myalternatives.ca
Andy’s family would like to thank the
staff at Rosewood Village for their
care and compassion. We will be
forever grateful. Also thank you for
your kindness to Betty, who faithfully
visited every day. We all appreciate
that too.
Andy, Dad, Grandpa you will be
forever loved and forever missed. You
will always be our hero and the wind
beneath our wings.
