Dale Walter Potter

WINDHAM – Dale Walter Potter, a resident of Windham, passed away unexpectedly on September 13, 2024. Born in Portland on November 7, 1963, Dale was the beloved son of the late Dennis E. Potter and Katherine F. Nanos.

Dale's early education was in the Windham school system. After school, he devoted many years to the food industry and for a time owned his own restaurant. In his later years, Dale found his true calling in healthcare, where he earned several certifications and took great pride in caring for the elderly.

Dale's adventurous spirit has taken him to various locations across the country, including San Diego, South Florida, and New York City. Most recently, he was in the process of purchasing a home in Zephyr Hills, Florida, with longtime friend Stanley Brown.

Dale will be remembered for his spontaneous visits to family and friends, a testament to his warm and generous nature. He was an active member of South Windham Community Church, where he made many close friends and was known for his generosity and kindness to those in need.

Dale leaves behind his loving family: his sisters Denise and her husband Christian, Darlene and her partner Dave, Debbie and his brother David and his wife Alison. He will also be sadly missed by his nieces, nephews, aunts and cousins.

The family would like to thank Dr. Steele and the dedicated staff at Martins Point for their compassionate care of Dale.

A memorial service in Dale's honor will be held on Friday, September 20th at 2:00 p.m. at Arlington Cemetery in North Windham with Pastor Mary officiating.

Dale's presence in the lives of his family and friends was a gift and he will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.
