Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this most difficult time. When I first met Bob at Robert and Taylor's wedding, I was witness to how much love and caring that he displayed to everyone. He made you feel a part of the family. "What a great guy"! Take care and God bless.

I am shocked! What a great guy. I remember when Potts came through Rush with the other Lawrenceville boys.
Someone read out his rec and it concluded, "You're gonna love this guy!" GOOD BYE, POTTS! We're going to miss you.
Love to your family,
Warm regards,
Bill Schmidt
