Marsha,
George and I had such fond and happy memories of Potter and his fun-loving ways. He would always keep us laughing whenever we would see him. I remember so many stories he and George experienced working together while at Norfolk Southern. May your heart be filled with fond memories of the love the two of you shared through your years together.
My prayer is that God's mercy and grace will sustain you in the days ahead.
Teresa Lashley (widow of George Lashley)

RIP our homeboy. Know the Potter's well. Very athletic family with Ike, Willis, & Charles playing sports at James Blair. Not only my schoolmate at James Blair, but my schoolmate at Norfolk State also.
