Joseph Donald "Buddy" Poteat

Still missed at gun club talking about him today. Funny and always a good story teller!!

Even though it has been a year, I still miss seeing Buddy and the gun club. He was always witty and friendly even though he was having health problems during the last few months before his diagnosis. It is comforting to know he is in a better place with no pain.

Greetings from Greensboro North Carolina and just found out Mr. Poteat passed. I knew him through the sport of trapshooting and he was a great shot and a great man. I was trying to presquad for the South Carolina State Shoot in May and noticed an event dedicated to Buddy and another shooter.
I was on my way to the Georgia State Shoot last May and dropped by the Spartanburg Gun Club and Buddy was down behind a practice field relaxing with his shooting friends. The picture I am posting...

Always enjoyed stories and time spent with Buddy he will be missed!

Buddy was a fine man and a friend. My condolences to the family.

My father (Vernon) and Buddy grew up together so I met Buddy as a young boy. We use to go cat fishing on the Tiger River every Saturday during the summer. For the last few years I have been seeing him at the Gun Club shooting trap. I will surly miss him.
