Condolence: Sincere sympathy to all of Mr. Potter's family. I have remembered him fondly over the years. He gave me my first job at Potter, Thornborough, Sheldon & George. My interview with him was an original! He sat behind his massive desk - I could barely see him over the piles of files - looked at me, gave that little smile, and said, "Ok. Talk." Yikes!! I was 18 years old, nervous and shy. I simply babbled. I'm sure he couldn't have been impressed with my intelligence, so he must have hired me out of pity! One of a kind!!

Condolence From: Barry Heselgrave
Condolence: The picture brings back memories. I spent many hours with Jim at Brandon College studying (not so much), philosophising (a lot), having a beer or two (on occasion) and generally hanging out. I saw Jim for coffee on the infrequent occasions when I visited Brandon from the West Coast for College reunions. It was always as if I had just been away for a trip as we easily picked up our relationship from years gone by. Best wishes to the family, who I have not met, for Jim was a great guy who lived well but not long enough!

Condolence From: Marion McGregor
Condolence: My condolences to Grace, Doug and Kevin and families. Jim was a very special person and he will be missed by you and his many friends. Jim became a friend to many of us at Brandon College when he left Carievale to pursue an education; those friendships have continued over the years, packed with a goodly number of stories, all of which tell you about what a good man he was with a wry sense of humour. So sorry he is gone now.

Condolence: William James Potter
My friend. ..
My Lawyer.....Legal beagle
My Fellow Kinsman.
Although I'm saddened that he is Gone...
I prefer to remember the things we did together...
1975 .. We had the midnite shift stoking fire on a Pit BBQ.
There was an Airstream convention in Brandon. πΊπΈ. π¨π¦
1977 We flew to Oshawa to pick up a Buick
We drove to Montreal for a Grey Cup game...
It was a cold snowy field in the old Olympic stadium
I was a disappointing game as E.E. seemed half asleep π΄. ..βοΈ
Afterwards Jim insisted on buying CHINESE dinners.
The trip home through Chicago and Minneapolis was eventful...
He often talked about a friend who was a Legal Surveyor (MLS & SLS )
He also said his dad died as younger man with heart problems
So one summer he going up and field on a John Deere he decided better get a University education.... and he DID....the rest is history
Always a SRR fan. π
I often sent him emails from Alberta , but he preferred to call me. π
Our very sincere condolences to Grace & their sons
A productive life lived...
R. I. P. .......Jimmy
