On Dec. 27, 1969, he married Lois Fouts in Minden. Survivors are: wife, Lois Potter; daughters, Shelly Garrett and her husband, Mike, of Hildreth and Sheila Horak and her husband, Shaun, of Omaha; son, Scott Potter and his wife, Shantell, of Kremmling, Colo.; grandchildren, Alexis and Chase Garrett and Samantha and Emma Horak, and an expected fifth grandchild in February; his mother of Kearney; brother, James Potter and his wife, Gail, of Chadron; sisters, Lisa Parish and her husband, Jim, of North Platte and Lori Potter of Kearney; and special family friend, John Kegley of Holdrege. Glen grew up on a farm south of Wilcox and graduated from Wilcox High School in 1965. He served in the National Guard. After attending the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for one year, he returned to the family farm where he and his wife lived. He retired from farming in 2001 because of ill health, but continued to enjoy raising cattle with the help of his nephew, Gary Paitz. Glen was an active volunteer in the Lymphoma Society, helping people with their questions and concerns after being diagnosed with cancer; served as president of the Wilcox Rural Fire District for 38 years; was active in Corn Growers; and was a member of the Wilcox American Legion, for which he had served in various offices, and of Pleasant View Christian Church south of Wilcox, where he served on the board. Glen enjoyed Nebraska football, University of Nebraska at Kearney sports activities, attending the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas and travel and always was ready to meet someone new. Glen had a zest for life, focused on "making the day count" and had a great sense of humor. His cancer support group was very important to him, and he looked forward to the meetings with friends he had made there. Most of all, Glen enjoyed his family and was called "Papa" by his grandchildren. Glen was preceded in death by: father and two uncles. Published in Kearney Hub on July 19, 2012
