Obituary: Porfirio, Michael A.

Michael A. Porfirio November 16, 1944 - June 18, 2015 Wow, this was unexpected!

How did I wind up in heaven June 18th when I thought I was on my way back to Chicago…

I would like you to know I am blessed with a cherished loving family and incredible friends, who would like to say some nice things about me: My wife Kaye: I will love and miss you, and everything about you, for the rest of my life.

Trudi: You made me the strong courageous woman I have become.

I will miss our talks, my friend, my Dad.

I will see you again on the other side of the rainbow.

Jill: The measure of the man I was blessed to call Dad was protective, loving and generous.

I will see you in all things and carry you gently with me.

Sissie: Mike, you were really fun when we could keep you awake.

Lance: I am thankful for and will greatly miss our Sunday discussions about business in Spokane.

My Grandchildren: Payton: Grandpa was a very strong man.

He never showed you if he was hurting and always had a smile.

Just two things I will miss about him.

Taylor: Grandpa Mike was a story teller.

He always had the best stories about growing up, telling each with such gusto and joy.

That’s just one of the greatest things I will miss.

Tyler: Grandpa Mike was a wonderfully generous person.

He rarely missed an opportunity to give something nice to you.

This is just one of many great qualities I will miss about him.

Jordan: Rest well Grandpa.

We all love you and are going to miss you so very much.

Give Daddy a hug for me.

I had a wonderful event filled and well lived life.

I know I am loved by the best and I love the best.

What more could I ask.

I hope you remember me well.

Good bye for now.

Michael A Celebration of Mike’s Life will be held on Wednesday, June 24, 2015, 3 pm, at St. Peters Catholic Church (3520 E. 18th, Spokane, WA 99223).
