zepher Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Very sad to hear that his family has lost him and that the hobby has lost another valuable resource. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 In spite of being a half a continent away, I have known his name and his reputation for about forty years or more. He and Stan Howe who passed away about two years ago were the top two carburetor guys in the model T and horseless carriage world. Russel Potter was beyond well known, and had many hundreds of personal friends in the hobby. To say "he will be missed" is a huge understatement. He was an active club member, one who stepped up and donated a great deal of time and money to the hobby he loved. I have often heard that he was a great family man also. I am pretty sure I had met him a couple times at national meets. I wish I had had a chance to know him better. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trulyvintage Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 The Sunday Memorial Service was well attended with a full parking lot and a few Model T’s. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarfudd Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 There's a short video on Facebook, originally on TikTok I believe, of his final ride to the cemetery. His coffin is in a TT truk, followed by several Model Ts paying tribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
