Robert Marshall "Bob" Potter

My condolences to the bereaved family and friends. May you rejoice in the Most High, who is our helper, especially in times like this. (Psalm 70:4, 5)

We are deeply saddened to hear about your father's passing. Our family has very fond childhood memories of our Los Alamos neighbors, the Potters. From the famous Potter family winter ice skating rink in their backyard, to delicious homemade Christmas breads, to seeing Mr. Potter pass our house at dusk on his way home from Mesa Public Library carrying two full arm loads of books. Your wonderful family is in our prayers and memories.

Time with Dad

I had an advantage
Being the last of your five children
Memories of the times we spent together
A personal treasure
More valuable than ever
Now that you're gone.

The time you got me after school
To go shopping for a camp out
On a school night
Under the Ponderosa pine trees
We camped and cooked together
Back in time for next day's school.

You taught me geology as we roamed amidst the rocks
Hiking and talking, exploring, learning.
You planted deep in my heart
A love for this earth
And of science
In your own special way.

In time we reunited
During my college days
Our week in San Fransisco
Was unlike any other
Exploring and learning, hearts sharing
You and I together again.

You often expressed regret
Of not spending more time
With all your children growing up
I wish you had that time again
To share wonderful moments with them
That I was privileged to have with you.

I love you Dad!!

My father was everything to me,mentor,inspiration and a great role model.He was loving and generous,strict but gentle.He will be missed and cherished by all of us but not forgotten.Love you Dad.

My sympathy to the family. As Jesus looked to the Heavenly Father for strength and power in his time of deep sorrow, may you do the same. John 11:39-44

For Bob, my father in-law, who was loved by many, especially his family

Grandpa Bob (my Grandfather in law) was a wonderful man.
He had a kindness in his eyes that I noticed from the very first time we met.
A man of great intelligence who set the example of SUCCESS to all that were privileged to know him.
I admire that he raised his children to become successful and even maintained a close and loving relationship with them.
My heart goes out to his family because he will truly be missed by all but he will never be forgot by all those that knew him.
We love you Grandpa Bob and always will.

A scientist and artist supreme has left this earth. Thank you, Bob, for a fruitful life well-lived and most of all for my beloved husband, Jeff Potter. Marilyn Potter was like a mother to me, and I also miss her so much. Talking to you about science and politics was always a pleasure. There are so many cherished memories that will stay with me forever. May you rest in peace.
