I'm so glad the weather wasn't a deterent on Saturday for the many folks who came out in the snow and paid their respects. Sarah, may God continue to bless and keep you in the palm of his hand. I will miss Bob's ready smile.

My thoughts and sorrow go out to a great person and a great friend. He will be missed by by all. An individual who put others before himself. To Sarah, a lady who did all she could to make his last days comfortable.

I will miss Bob greatly. I always enjoyed spending time with him and getting to know him, especially in the last few years. He was very kind and sweet, with a wonderful sense of humor.

It is with the deepest regret that I will be unable to pay my respects this evening. I had the pleasure of knowing Bob for 20 years. My first and most lasting impression was that he was a gentleman of the highest order. I consider it a great gift that I was able to spend time with him and Sara over the past holiday season at Ron and Mac's Christmas party. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Sara and family, during this time.

I met Bob when we were Mounties together in PGLT's 1972 production of "Little Mary Sunshine." It is hard to believe that was 33 years ago. During all those years Bob was a caring and classy man. I will miss him.

Bob was such a kind, loving, warm-hearted man. Always smiling, he never failed to give me a wonderful hug! I will miss him very much. All my love to Sarah.

Love,

Bob was a wonderful man. He greeted everyone with a smile as warm as the sun. I will always remember Bob striding down the aisle at the Publick Playhouse in a modified Marine's uniform. It fit perfectly and he seemed to come from another era, into the play, "Three Penny Opera." We will miss him but he will always be in our hearts. Our love goes to Sarah and Tara and all of our friends who will miss Bob.

Sarah and Tara, my deepest sympathy on the loss of an incredibly loving and special man. Whatever the occasion or need, Bob was there with a smile, a joke, friendship, and two hands ready to pitch in and do whatever it took to make things successful. Please know that all of us whose life Bob touched, share your grief in the loss of a wonderful man.

May God bless your family at this most difficult time. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Potter when we were both on the New Carrollton Public Safety and Health Committee. His vast knowledge was indispensible to the New Carrollton community. Mrs. Potter, Psalm 30:5 says, "For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." May your family be comforted by the knowledge that Mr. Potter is with the Lord.

Bob was always a caring and concerned Christian friend who was an encouragement to all who knew him. He will be greatly missed, and we look forward to singing with him in the Heavenly choirs.

Our deepest sympathy to Sarah and the family. May the peace of God comfort you at this time as only He can.

In Christian love,

My sincere condolences to the Potter family. I first met Bob in 1949 at Carlton's place of employment. His congeniality reflected a great personality and fine upbringing. He will surely be missed by all with whom he came in contact.
