Frank was the fifth of 6 Potter children.  He retired from DuPont after 28yrs of dedicated service.  After retiring, he subcontracted for DuPont for a number of years working with the destruction and reconstruction of power plants on the East Coast. He held many positions during his tenure with DuPont.  He performed Instrumentation and Electrical Controls maintenance (I&E), Electrical Designer, Electrical Engineer, Project Manager, and more. Among his many accolades during his career he was especially proud of his acceptance to the NC Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors in June 1979 and The Branda Canadensis Award for his exemplary traits of teamwork and partnering presented by The Order of The Branda Canadensis. He established his own business, Potter's Electric and Cӓen Technologies. He was also a member of Coastline Rescue Squad and for a period of time, Acting Chief.

He enjoyed playing in golf tournaments with DuPont and won trophies. He also enjoyed playing softball, bowling, the water and seafood.

Frank will forever be deeply missed by his wife, Yolanda, his family and those who knew him well.  To be absent from us is to be present with the Father.  He rededicated his life to the Lord on November 15, 2022.  He is certainly in a better place.
