Bob Pott passes away

Bryan Phillips · 03-17-2009, 08:40 PM

Another real reminder of how precious life is. Too many of our friends are leaving us too early. For me, Bob exemplifies what living is all about. Always upbeat, always willing to help, always giving his all.....We all should be inspired by Bob. I can't think of a more genuine person. You could see the sincerity and goodness after just a few words of conversation.

I was fortunate enough to really get to know Bob when my close friend Ward Alston built his 88 Mustang Stocker.....I think you know how the rest of the story goes. Ward and Bob became very close over the years. I could go on for a while about such a great man but I will end by saying that I will reflect often on the image of a big in stature man with a hearty laugh dropping by my pit area on his "signature" black pit motorcycle making time for a quick race update-usually to check on the Ford guy:-) and always to exchange a few laughs.

On behalf of my family, my wife, Stefanie, sons, Brandyn and Blayke and Dad, Paul, I would like to extend thoughts and prayers to Bob's wife, Kelly and Rusty, Shannon and Eric and the entire Pott Family.
Sincerely,
Bryan Phillips

I met Bob through Bryan and Ward when I first started racing. He was always a super nice guy to me even though I was a rookie racer and really didn't know anything. I am sorry to hear the news here about his passing. He will be missed by a lot of people.

Very sorry to hear of bob's passing, he was always very friendly, and tolerated our behavior towards him being a ford racer. Our sincerest condolances to his family.
