I will always remember Mr. Potts. He was a true gentleman as well as a loving husband, father and grandfather. I can still picture him in the driveway at 646 Anita washing his Cadillac after playing a round of golf. He had a lot of passion for golf and always was dressed so nice for golf, work or even around the house. Lori and Lynn I am truly sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies go out to you at this difficult time. Your pal from Hollywood...Chef
