It is with sadness to advise that we have lost two members of our extended family. I had the opportunity to meet both of these gentlemen and enjoyed our visits.
Both were grandsons of Frank Porter and Hannah Booth of Blackburn, Lancashire.
Larry, son of Stella Porter and Charles Crabbe. They immigrated to Michigan, US in the 1920s.
Michael, son of Alice Porter (sister of Stella) and James Standen of Blackburn, England.
Please join in sending condolences to their families.
