PORCELLI, Augustine Joseph ('A.J.'). Born January 24, 1961, died July 19, 1995, resident of Tucson since early childhood. Mr. Porcelli touched all who knew him with his irrepressible wit and charm.

His passion, his loyalty, and his generosity of spirit made an indelible impression on all whom he touched.
Mr. Porcelli is survived by his mother Winifred Reilly Porcelli; his sister, Winnie R. Porcelli, both of Tucson, and his brother, Jonathan V. Porcelli of New York City. He was preceded in death by his brother, Louis-john Porcelli, and close friend, Gary Baker. He is also remembered and loved by a wide circle of family and friends, including lifelong confidante and soulmate, Renee Vogel, as well as the entire Vogel family; family friends Jean and Andrew Baker; his dear friend, Diane Hart; his brother-in-law, Jason John Hendrix; his aunt, Dorothy Reilly, and many cousins; and numerous close friends.
Mr. Porcelli was a 1979 graduate of Sabino High School, received his B.A. from the University of Arizona in 1984, and his J.D. from A.S.U. Law College in 1988. He was a coach for the Indian Ridge Swim Team 1984-1985, and interned in the office of Congressman Jim Kolbe in Washington, D.C. in 1987. Upon graduation from law school, he embarked on a career as an attorney and businessman, most recently with Globetech International. He was planning to attend the University of Arizona NAFTA Institute College of Law this fall.
