Born in Attleboro, Massachusetts on October 21, 1943, he was a son of the late Willard Potter and Mildred Mary (Cooney) Fitton. He was raised and educated in Attleboro where he remained a lifelong resident of the community.

An ardent CB radio operator, he was a member of the local “REACT” club and enjoyed times spent listening to local happenings on his home scanner and time spent on his home computer.

One of his favorite places to visit was the ocean.
