Gregory James Potter, 34, of Albuquerque, died at home of natural causes Saturday, August 23, 2003. Greg grew up in Los Alamos, where he displayed a gift and a joy for track, football and wrestling. He was a devoted Chicago Bulls and Cubs fan who enjoyed watching games with his Grandpa Danz. He was active in the Boy Scouts and achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. His genuine warmth and compassion for friends and strangers was legend. His personality was an eclipsing light toward which so many souls gravitated.
