In Loving Memory of Harvey Potter "Officer Riley"
Harvey Potter
April 4, 1952 - December 15, 2025
I am feeling a great loss from someone who I thought of and loved as my brother. Harvey Potter was such a kind, gentle, tenderhearted, and helpful man. During the past eight years, he was often working in the background while we were running our jail roleplay experiences. He kept us organized and was always thinking of everyone's needs. He had strong moral convictions of fairness, integrity, civility, and being accepting of others. He is a person who I loved and am glad that I was able to associate with him for the short eight years that I knew him. I will miss him terribly, and know that everyone else in our group, both who volunteer as staff, and those who have come to do roleplaying at the jail will miss him deeply. My thoughts and love go out to all of you who were privileged to have been able to associate with him. We are a community. I am so thankful to be part of this group of people who are so unique, special, and wonderful.
