Personal note from Liz Potter

I volunteered to make this website, knowing it would be hard- both emotionally, but also gathering all the information about a man who lived 92 years! I will continue adding photos and stories to the memories tab, but hope others will share anything they remember in pictures and stories. To prevent spam to this website, all who contribute will have to fill out the registration to ensure the safety of this page. This virtual memorial is a way to share and celebrate the life of Bob Potter, my dad, who accomplished so much. Thank you -- Liz

Event details

No memorial events are planned

As a family, with Bob in mind and how he would go against the tide of what "should" be done (if you knew him well, this will make you laugh!), we decided not to have an in-person service. To celebrate his life, we encourage you to share photos, stories, or messages to the family about this accomplished, funny, creative, and generous man. He would have LOVED seeing a website all about him!
