William Porthun Obituary

It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved William Porthun (Queens, New York), who passed away at the age of 83, on August 10, 2025. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As we bid William farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For William is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his wife Joan; his daughters, Laurie (Kevin), Christine (Brian) and Denise (Jonas); and his grandchildren, William and Jessica.
