Brian Tapley: A fair and reasonable meter guy! Yes, he gave me a few tickets over the years but he was always there with a friendly comment and you can bet that if he did give you a ticket…. well you deserved it! A really great guy!
Al Kudryk: That’s Ray Porter !!! He is the Meter Guy, the Crossing Guard, But Most of All the Real Santa that my Kids grew up with! Always Smiling and a How do you Do when you would meet. A Prince of a Man!!! But most of all a Friend !!!
Before he was the meter man he was the towns police officer until the O.P.P. took over in 1970 , when the district of Muskoka came into being.
