To the family of Gayle Potts: May your memories help you through this difficult time. Growing up in the neighborhood in Hallie brings back a lot of good memories. Along with the camping and vacations I shared with the Potts family. Gayle was a fun loving kid and that stayed with him as he grew up. Gone but never forgotten.
I am so sorry for your loss. Gayle will always be remembered. Although I did not know him very well. I do remember all the family reunions. He was a great person to be around. He will be missed. Sending prayers to all the family.
We all love and miss you grandpa! Family events will never be the same without you!!
Gail, say hello to your dad for me. I was lucky enough to have you as a brother in law not once but twice. You took great care of my sister and she loved you very much. I couldn’t be more proud to have you for a brother. Don’t know when I will be joining you but my cancer is a little slower growing. Bonnie and I will miss you terribly. I think I’m going to switch to Coors Lite so I can have one with you once in a while. This is going to be hard on Trudy but she is a strong women. Every so often you will be getting permanent company, until then play cribbage with dad, bet he can beat you. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
When I learned of Gayles illness I was heartbroken and still am. He spent a year as my crewchief. I am forever in debt for Gayle and Trudys sacrifice that year. In my eyes there was no finer wingman. We laughed and cried together. A true champion. ?
Trudy. Sorry for your families loss. I feel blessed for knowing Gayle. Please let me know if there is anything you need
With all my love and respect.

Deepest condolences to the Potts family and friends for the loss of your loved one Gayle. During Jesus Christ Ministry his friend Lazarus had fallen asleep in death Jesus Christ shedded tears minutes later even though Lazarus had been laid to rest in a tomb for 4 days Jesus Christ called to Lazarus to come out waking him up from the sleep of death John 11:11-44. Very soon Jesus Christ will do the same for the loved ones we have lost in death they will hear his voice waking up from the sleep of death John 5:28,29, right here on a brand new Paradise Earth no more sickness pain or death Life Without End Revelation 21:1-5 jw.org.
I am so sorry Gayle is gone, but happy to have known him. He always showed me kindness. My condolences to everyone who is missing him. Lynn
