It is with immense sadness and shattered hearts that we announce the passing of our "Porky" after a brief and courageous battle with cancer. Porky was a devoted and much-loved husband, father and grandfather. He was friend to all.
Left to remember and love Porky through memories are his wife Linda of 51 years; his three daughters, Jodie, Pamela (Corey) Goshulak and Victoria "Torrie" (Pierre-Luc) Archambault; and the two lights of his life, his grandsons, Zachary and Benjamin. Also left to mourn are a large extended family and many, many friends.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at the Eastview Community Church, 315 Maxwell King Drive, East St. Paul. A light lunch and fellowship will follow.

So sorry to hear about Porky you guys. I don't recall a time he didn't have a great big smile on his face, it was contagious. Fave memory was the evening Porky volunteered to bartend at my brother's wedding social. We'd brought "special glasses" for Pierre and Gerry. We put labels with masking tape in rows. Minnow-perch-tulibee-catfish-walleye for a fun way for them to order refills. Porky offered to deliver their drinks if they were having walleyes (5ozer's). Boy oh boy, did he deliver. We saw a lot of Porky that night. I'll remember him as one of those larger than life guys. Mitch. - Posted by: Mitch Legault (Friend and neighbor) on: May 17, 2025

Linda and your family.. we were very heartbroken to hear about Porky. He was an amazing person. He was our favourite coach in the 80s-90s. We had the best fan base in all the league of our girls. The whole team will never forget him. Always happy to, I remember the trailer he used when in tournaments with campgrounds. You had a wonderful husband and father. 😢❤️❤️ - Posted by: Cheryl and Dave Timmerman (Friends and coaches) on: May 14, 2025

Dear Linda, Jodi, Pam and Tori We are so sad to learn of Porky’s passing. Our sincere condolences. I have lots of fun memories coaching baseball with Porky from the times our kids couldn’t throw a ball or swing a bat and then grow up to be elite baseball players/team. He was a great coach and dedicated so many years to these girls. He will never be forgotten by the teams that he coached as he was a big part of the growing years. Rest in peace Porky!
