Daily News | Charles Marvin Porter, principal, community activist, and former Inquirer ad manager, dies at 86
Charles Marvin Porter, 86, of West Chester, a former teacher and school principal in Delaware County, a popular community activist in West Chester, and a former advertising sales manager at The Inquirer, died Monday, Jan. 17, of a heart attack at Green Meadows rehabilitation and nursing center in Malvern.
He worked earlier as a recruiter and national sales manager for the Philadelphia-based Philco-Ford Corporation. He never planned to be a teacher or principal for long but became so attached to his students that, as principal, he would fill in himself when a teacher called in sick. He attended Cheyney after being turned away from West Chester State Teachers College, now West Chester University, due to racial quotas, and later was named by then-Gov. Milton Schapp to West Chester’s board of trustees.
Mr. Porter and his wife moved to St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands after he retired and owned and operated a bed and breakfast. They returned to West Chester in the early 2000s so he could be close to his cardiologist.
