A great neighbor. My son's screams had me flying to his side in the yard where his bike had ran over a hornets nest. The bees were stinging him. They were in his shirt, shoes, mouth, now stinging me everywhere. A man came running from his house, helping. Somehow we got Michael away from the area. The man, the great neighbor, now also being stung, but, not concerned with anything other than the rescue until finally, the bees left. Years later, his grandson, Cody, married my daughter, Amber. The man became great grandpa to Vincent Tre Williams at the same time I became grandma for the first time. He had been in real war...and I will never forget that veteran. Essentially, I had fought a tiny but real battle alongside him against hundreds of angry bees...we emerged with my son, stung from head to toe, but safe. I came back from Dr. and he was vehemently smoking that bees nest out of the embankment. Jack Potts,forever in my eyes, a definite "hero". Who else would race into a swarm of bees to rescue me and my child? Today, he is gone. R.I.P., comrade.

Jack,
Thank You for everything you have done for our country. Its because of men and woman like you that make us proud to be an American!
God Bless good Friend,God Speed and see you on the other side.

I will cherish your friendship Jack and I thank-you for your selfless service to our nation.  "You have fought the good fight, and you have finished the race..." (2 Timothy 4:7)  Thanks for a job well done.  May you rest in peace.
--"The Colonel"
