His quick wit and sense of humor is etched in my memory. Like most of my friends, Don was a good basketball player and a friend. I'm disappointed that we didn't have a chance to spend more time together. RIP Clifford Hawkins AKA "Hawk"
Linda,
Our hearts are with you and the family. Although our paths have not crossed in quite some time, we think of you often and always looked forward to seeing you both. Unfortunately, as time passed, we weren't able to connect. We'll always remember Don as a personality that entered the room and instantly engaged in conversation and made those around him feel welcome.
May peace find you during this difficult time,
Bill and Kim Plunkett
Don Potter, what an amazing guy and what a guy wrenching loss. An honored classmate whose memory we will dearly hold in many future conversations. Fun filled conversations to be sure. His presence brought joy and a happiness only he and his constant wit could provide. Intelligent beyond maybe only his wife could challenge. Linda, our hearts, in unity, wrap your sweet spirit as you seek understanding. Please know you are not alone.

Don was a real treasure to the Muskegon community and to the Big Red Family. A quick wit who kept all on their toes. We had many discussions about our Vietnam experiences, and I enjoyed his memories. I will miss him.
