RIP Andy Potts aka SOTB
Andy passed into Vahalla today.
His service included 3D Recon Bn, 2d Force Recon Co, JFKSWC. His efforts helped get the fledgling Force Recon MEUSOC program off ground and at one time he was the only MMF qualified sniper in the Marine Corps. He was hard as the proverbial woodpecker lips and smart. He has worked all over the world and was currently running a highly successful intelligence and security company in Mexico. I know first hand the high level value his efforts brought to people. I've had the privilege of knowing Andy since 1986. We shared similar traits and have agreed, argued and told each other to F off in cycles for years. I valued his friendship, advice and ability to tell me I was an asshole. He was a father, husband and a Brother to many. This site was better because of him and he never hesitated to reach out a helping hand to anyone regardless of the circumstances. Please take a moment to remember and celebrate Andy's life. He'll be missed, but not forgotten by all of us who know him. Semper Fi |
Rest in Peace, Andy Potts
You'll be sorely missed |
Rest easy, Andy.
See you at the ORP. You are missed, and this place is smaller without you. |
Never met SOTB as some have. But feel a tremendous sense of loss.

Semper Fi[/QUOTE] Pardon the intrusion into your area SB and I'm sorry for your loss. Rest easy Andy, I will miss you. My thoughts are w/your family and I wish you peace. |
Rest in Peace Andy. See you in Valhalla.
|
Rest easy my brother!
|
Well. Shit.
"Sorry to hear that" doesn't even come close. Grace and peace to his friends and comrades. Sit tibi terra levis. |
RIP Brother!
|
RIP brother
|
Goodbye Andy.
See you on the Drop Zone. Maas |
Rest in Peace, Andy Potts.
|
Rest in Peace Marine.
|
What a shocker. RIP.
|
Until Valhalla. And thank you.
|
Goodbye, Andy. Thank you for making our lives better.
|
Well said SB.
I won't mourn Andys passing. Instead I will celebrate his life and spend the evening remembering some great times and experiences shared over the years.. My wife and I still laugh over a bet I lost to Andy several years ago.. I had to take him to a high end steak place and let him order whatever he wanted.. He had me in tears laughing most of the night with his jeering over the very stupid bet I had made with him.. And cost me a small fortune before the night was over (that f'er could eat like no other when it served a purpose lol).. |
R.I.P. Andy..... Our world is a lot less cool today....
|
RIP warrior.
|
RIP Marine.
|
Andy definitely added value to this board. He lived his life on his terms. He will be greatly missed.
Love you Brother. |
RIP brother

I am pretty sure this is what he would want, for us celebrate his amazing life and remember him for who he was, one hell of a friend. Even now that he is gone I still find myself thinking "what would Andy think, what would he say about this? What would he do right now?" WWAD, perfect. |
RIP SOTB. Thank you again for helping me.
|
Rest easy Brother...
|
RIP brother. You will be missed but always respected.
|
Goodbye Andy I will miss your words of wisdom.
|
Rest in Peace Andy...
|
God be with Andy's family, and may he rest in peace.
|
Godspeed Andy.
