An acquaintance of mine, James Michael Potter, passed away this past Saturday (June 12th). From all accounts it was supposed to be from complications due to his affliction with diabetes.
I knew James from volunteering together at the Out of the Cold program at Knox Presbyterian Church. We used to go there every Tuesday night through the winter to help underprivileged young people with a hot meal. I have to say, I never was that close to him. But, he would always offer a friendly smile whenever we crossed paths. He seemed like a really great guy, well liked by everybody.
It was such a shock to hear of his passing on Facebook. To me he seemed to be a picture of perfect health. And he was so young too. Only 33-years-old. It's so sad to be taken at such an early age. I know he will be missed by many. The Knox OOTC community is pretty tight. To his family and friends I send my most sincere condolences.
