After retiring, Jimmy continued as a substitute teacher at Classen School of Advanced Studies. He loved time outdoors, fishing or golfing, especially with his sons and grandsons. He loved the adventure of travel, to experience diverse cultures and history. He was a friend of Bill W., who changed many lives with his example of compassion.
Jimmy is survived by his wife, Paula of Mustang; a son, Ty Porter of Scottsdale, Ariz.; three stepsons and their families, Rob and Catherine Printup, Jon and Tiffany Printup and Geoffrey Printup; and seven grandchildren. He also leaves three sisters, Barbara Emberson of Clearwater, Kan., Joy Day of New Manchester, W.Va., and Pat and Bobby Lewis of Waurika; brother, Eddy and Diane Porter of Corinth, Texas; in-laws, Van and Irene Perkins; two brothers-in-law, Bob and Brenda Perkins and Tim and Jamie Perkins and their children, all of El Reno; and a long list of much-loved cousins, nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, the family prefers donations to Catholic Charities or a charity of your choosing.
