The Bakersfield Californian 
Porter, Richard Harry     
1949 - 2005 
 
Richard Harry Porter 
Aug. 9, 1949 - Nov. 14, 2005 

Richard was born at Ft. Dix New Jersey to Philip D. and Jeanne Porter. He 
passed away peacefully at home on November 14th, at the age of 56. Being from 
a military family, Richard was able to see much of the world as he was growing 
up, moving from place to place. Having spent time in France, he could speak 
French better than English at the age of 3 years old. He continued his 
travels, as he himself was a Viet Nam Veteran and served seven years in the 
U.S. Army. He finally settled in Bakersfield in 1975, and was employed for 17 
years with Tenneco West/Dole Fresh Fruit Co. He was last employed with Quinn 
Co. as a Mechanic and Truck Driver. Richard loved doing things with his hands 
and making things work. He had many favorite pastimes over the years including 
his beloved 65 Mustang, Coors Light, drag racing, building model airplanes and 
taking his family on camping trips. He will be missed around the campfire. 
Richard was preceded in death by his father. He is survived by his mother, 
Jeanne of Florida; his wife of 30 years Linda; daughter and son-in-law, Lori 
and Kyle Wright all of Bakersfield; brother, Philip A. Porter of Florida; 
nieces and nephews, and many friends including all the board members at his 
early morning board meetings. A memorial service will be held Friday, November 
18th, at 11:00 a.m., at Kern River Family Mortuary Chapel, 1900 N. Chester 
Ave.
