Deputy Robert Porter of the Onslow County Sheriff's Office died April 1, 2015, at his residence. Many remember him as "The Gentle Giant" with his deep voice, and generous spirit. He truly was a "GIANT" among men in character. He never called attention to himself, often choosing to focus on the needs and efforts of others. Deputy Porter loved his duty, and his community. He was dedicated to his family, and believed in building a future for his children. He served honorably in the United States Navy, and believed it right to honor those who served. In 2012 Mr. Porter was inducted into the Lancers after being sponsored by Lancer Jack Martin. Mr Porter often made himself available to advise young Military in need of guidance, and had a natural tact for motivating them to achieve their fullest potential.
Porter is being lovingly remembered by the students and staff he served as a School Resource Officer at Southwest and Dixon High Schools.

Robert Neil Lathrop, USN (Ret) was one of my heroes in life. Small in stature, he was huge in spirit. He was part of the Lancers from the beginning and served until just a few days prior to his death after suffering a brief illness, November 16th, 2014. He set the example for others to follow. He was wounded twice in Vietnam and was awarded the Bronze Star for his actions. He joined the ranks of the Military Order of the Purple Heart in October of 2004. He helped me start my business, and always was there when I needed advise. He was one of the founders of "Operation Deployed Santa" with myself and Chaplain Steve Smith. He was one of the seven founders and the council of 12 with the Military Order of the Lancers. He volunteered to be the Finance Officer for the Corpsmens Memorial Fund. But most of all he was my friend, and friend that I will miss deeply, and a friend that I very much enjoyed the conversations we shared, the wisdom he provided, the courage he showed even when told he had a limited time to live.
I can honestly say that there are very few people in my life that have effected me as much as Chief Robert Neil Lathrop. He reminded me many a time that a Corpsman's duty doesn't end at the termination of one's enlistment. He proved that time and time again as he helped Marines, Sailors, and Veterans in this area never asking for anything in return.
