Born in Fairhope, Alabama, on August 24, 1946, he was the son of Daniel Potter and Dorothy (Trent) Potter. Larry was a loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and was always there for anyone who needed him. He proudly served our country in the United States Army distinguished with several medals throughout his service. He was a hard working man, working as a mechanic for many years and able to fix anything. He then went on to work as a table game supervisor at Isle of Capri in his later years. He enjoyed playing golf, shooting guns, and loved to take his sons fishing when they were growing up.
