Rest in Peace John. You took me under your wing when I was a Boot and showed me the ropes on how to be a good Fireman. God Bless you John Potter

I was a brand new engineer at old 47s. That is a tough district. We would beat 1s and 16s all the time on grass fires. The captains thought I was sharp! BUT, I was driving a convertible 61 crown and I would look in the mirror and Johnny potter would point left or right when I had to make a turn!. Thanks Johnny, an old school Fireman who knew everything about his first in district! If his daughter reads this know we loved your pop, he was a good man!
