Ann and Jack, Mr. Potter was the leader of our ""Explorer Scouts"" troup at Our Savior's Lutheran Church. I fear we challenged Gordon's always calm demeanor with our antics. I remember that this was the 1st co-ed Explorer Scout year and as spirited teens, we tested the boundrys of what was acceptable. Gordon's leadership was wonderful, even at the slightly out-of-control ""Klondike Derby"" at Ben Delatour Scout Camp. Ann, please ask Jack to enlighten you. Right, Jack? Love and Peace to you all and my heart felt prayer for you all for Gordons many gifts to me. Daniel Johnson

Ann & family, We were very sorry to read of Gordon's death, we always enjoyed visiting with him from Ellis & Capp's time on till now.

Our sincere sympathy and love to all of Gordon's family.  He was great guy with a big heart and a smile to with it.
Bob and Shirley Hart

Our family met Gordon and Ann, Many years ago, at Red Feather Lakes. Our cabin, being next to theirs. Gordon was the nicest,kindest and giving man, I will ever meet. He plowed and graded nokomis road, and gave my grandkids rides, on that old tractor.He will never be forgotten, as he will be in our thoughts and memory. I will miss him. Rosemary Turner

Tom--So sorry to hear of the passing of your dad.  Please know that are thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Tom, I am saddened to hear of your fathers passing. Wish you and your family well.

To the Family of Gordon Potter,
My deepest sympathy to all of you. Gordon was such a great guy. My memory of Gordon involved his willingness to be the Leader of the first Explorer Scout Troop there at Our Saviors. His kindness and gentle way with us, even though we didn't deserve it, has always been on my mind. I really should have apologized so many years ago for giving him the grief and trials we inflicted upon him. My sister, Virginia Kinney, who worked with Gordon, was my link to his whereabouts in the ensuing decades. 
Mrs. Potter, I especially want you to know what a great man I knew Gordon to be. I hope that God's peace and His Love will help you and the rest of your family through this time. Again, my deepest sympathy. Daniel R. Johnson

Our deepest sympathies to Ann and family. I knew Gordon when I was a little girl and he would always ask how me and my sisters were doing. We will miss him very much. God Bless.

Dear Jack and Potter family, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I once asked Gordon if I could adopt him because he was such a sweetheart and both my parents had passed away a few years ago. Gordon said ""Yes! Sure you can adopty me!"" I'll never forget what a wonderful man he was. My heart breaks for all of you, but you are in my thoughts and prayers always. Gordon will be missed, but his love will shine through in his wonderful family.

Gordon and Ann where always so thoughtful when it came to a holiday or our children's birthday's. Gordon was always so kind to speak with. Was a very fine listener and a good man. The world would be a better place if younger people would follow the lead of his generation. Sorry to hear of your loss, Potter family. Sincerely Atkinson family.

Remembered Joy 
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free!
I follow the plan God laid for me.
I saw His face, I heard His call,
I took His hand and left it all...
I could not stay another day,
To love, to laugh, to work or play;
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
And if my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss...
Ah yes, these things I, too, shall miss.
My life's been full, I've savoured much:
Good times, good friends, a loved-one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief??""
Don't shorten yours with undue grief.
Be not burdened with tears of sorrow,
Enjoy the sunshine of the morrow.
