Lincoln T. Potter

Re: Stephen Donachie's post: I feel moved to share with the Miami Friends Meeting group, and his family, how OFTEN through the years (I was in contact with Lincoln for many years, until the end) he would share how meaningful and potent the Friends Meetings were to him - - he repeatedly shared this individually, and in groups I was in with him. It opened me up to the power of silence as the core of a spiritual meeting - while allowing words if moved to speak. Lincoln, and his sharing this,...

I knew Lincoln during his years with Miami Friends Meeting. I was part of a trust group that included him, and he was always a wonderful listener, a warm sharer, and gave great hugs at the end of each session. After he left Miami we would see him once a year when he came for lobster season. He will be missed by many who knew him here.

I worked with Lincoln in the Dept. of Molecular Pharmacology at the Univ. of Miami School of Medicine for 25 years, where we performed many, many experiments, trained numerous graduate students, and presented our data at International Neuroscience meetings as a team. His medical students loved his teachings and stories. He generously acknowledged my participation and authorship when merited, in his publications. I watched him design and redesign multiple boats, 2 of which were built, as well...

Lincoln Potter was wise and kind. At the end he was content and unafraid. He had been blessed with a full life, and he appreciated what he had had. We alternated serious talk and funny stories in our last visits. He had a friendly gentle laugh without any meanness in it, as if he just saw the fun in whatever absurdity there was.

Jenn & Joyce, I just read of your loss and want to express my sympathy. May his memory be for a blessing Barby Comins

I had the great pleasure of meeting Lincoln when I visited him where I volunteer where he last lived. A week before he passed. We spent an hour talking and he asked questions and answered many questions. It was clear that Lincoln had a rich life I was do impressed by his desire and ability to live large until the end, which he shared was fast approaching... I was so sad to learn that I could not visit again when I returned the day after he passed on Christmas Day ... Lincoln left a marked...

While I never met Lincoln, his daughter Jenny is my aunt by marriage. I want to express our condolences on his passing. Jenny, we're all thinking of you and hope that your dad's memory will be a blessing for you, Joyce and the girls. Sending so much love at this difficult time. Love, Jody, Mike, Talia & Elizabeth

I've been friends with Lincoln for over 40 years. We met in Miami. I had the honor of knowing him through gatherings we both attended in which we all shared of ourselves in a deeper way than most ordinary get-togethers occur. We talked of what mattered most to us at any given time. These gatherings continued all these many years, right up until our last Zoom group gathering on Dec 4. I'm so grateful to have had all this time with him. Lincoln so loved his family and told us many stories of...
