"The Davis Enterprise," Wednesday, October 9, 2002
Norman D. Pott

A memorial service was held last month for former Davis minister Norman D. Pott,
who died Sept. 1, 2002, at his home in San Rafael, of myelofibrosis. He was 70.

He was born Feb. 23, 1932, in Summit, N.J., to Katherine and Alan Pott.

Pott earned his bachelor's degree in 1954 from Wheaton College in Wheaton, Ill.,
where he received all-American honors as a basketball player. He was drafted by
the Syracuse Nationals, then a National Basketball Association team, but chose
to pursue the ministry instead.

He received a bachelor's degree in divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary
in 1957 and a doctorate from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1960.

While studying at Wheaton, Pott met Enid Hensel and the two married on June 14,
1954.

Pott served his first ministry in Berkeley before moving to Eugene, Ore., in
1964 to serve as pastor of Central Presbyterian Church. In 1975, he and his
family moved to Davis where he served as pastor and head of staff at Davis
Community Church, until 1986. Pott is remembered by the Davis congregation for
his personal graciousness, sense of humor and his deep passion for human
justice. He served on the Davis Human Relations Commission.

He also pastored a church in San Rafael and served in an interim capacity for a
congregation in St. Helena before ill health forced an end to his ministry in
June 2001.

Survivors include his wife, Enid; two sons, Stephen of San Rafael and Aaron of
St. Helena; two daughters, Emily of Oxford, England, and Carol of Inverness;
four brothers, Roger, Gordon, Donald and Douglas; and three grandchildren.

Memorial contributions may be made to Doctors Without Borders, P.O. Box 1856,
Merriefield, VA 22116-8056.
