The Bakersfield Californian 
Carl S. Potter
April 5, 1924 Oct. 1, 2004

Services: Wed., Oct. 6, 11 a.m. 

Born in Bakersfield, Carl was known by all his friends and co-workers as 
Potter. His daughters called him Poppy.

Our Poppy was a proud veteran of World War II having served twice, once in the 
United States Navy and once in the United States Marines. He was in good 
standing with the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign War. He was a 
member of the Operating Engineers Union, Local #12. 

Potter is survived by his loving, caring wife, Maxine for 29 years; his 
daughters, Denise Martin and Jolene Wise of Las Vegas, Loretta Gardea of Los 
Angeles and Judy Gardea-Welker of Lopez Island, Washington; and his four 
grandchidlren. We will miss him dearly.

In his youth he loved cars, motorcycles and boats. He would race anything 
motorized. He loved outdoor sports. He was a founding member of Smokers Inc. 
In his Golden years, he spent his time doing what he loved the most, traveling 
and spending time with his wife and doggies. He was a World-Class Fisherman 
and a Master of RVing. Friendliness was his greatest trademark. He was known 
by his outgoing personality. Never at a loss for words, he could start a 
conversation with a stranger and walk away a friend.

Our Poppy has now gone home to be with our Lord where he rests in the Shadow 
of His Wings.

Graveside services will be held at Greenlawn Southwest Memorial Park, 2739 
Panama Ln., at 11:00 a.m., on Wednesday, October 6, 2004. Visitation begins 
today, October 5, at 3:00 p.m.
