Gordon "Smokey" Potis

Gordon was the quintessential teenager with the black leather jacket, greased back hair and big nose. Back in Belleville NJ on Linden Ave where Gordon lived, he was the lead singer for George Cerfice trio and then lead singer for the Laurie’s “I Do Believe”. He had a better voice than Dion and even Sinatra. Iris loved hearing him sing as she gave off an eggy ora. Ken couldn’t believe Gordon’s voice, every time Gordon would sing, Ken would dance out the door. Gordon, you will be missed especially by Beverly.

My name is Dan, Smokey was my friend.
I am very sad to here he is gone.
I worked with Smokey back when Bill Graham was alive.
If you knew Smokey I would like to here from you.

Love you Smokey ! Will miss you dearly !

I'm Gordon's brother. Some time ago,this statement was shared with me. "Someone once gave me box of darkness...in time I learned that this too was a gift." I believe that yes it is dark because we have lost Gordon...but because he is now in God's hands he recieved a gift of a new life. I love you brother.
