David Hamilton Potts' Obituary
David Hamilton Potts, age 72 of Rehoboth Beach, DE, passed away on Thursday, September 29, 2022, at his home. He was born on January 7, 1950, in Washington, DC, son of the late Ramsay and Veronica Potts.
Mr. Potts attended college, but had an entrepreneurial spirit, which led him to open Atlantic Liquors, then Barstools Plus. He eventually sold Atlantic Liquors, but remained active in the commercial leasing community. Mr. Potts had a kind and giving nature, always helping others in need, be they friend or stranger. He had many hobbies and interests, but none brought as much joy to him as spending time with his beloved grandchildren. Mr. Potts was a loving and devoted father, grandfather, partner, brother, and friend. Loved by many, he will be genuinely missed by all who had the good fortune to know him.
In addition to his parents, Mr. Potts was preceded in death by his sister, Lesley Potts. He is survived by his daughter, Ravyn Potts Handzus (Jon); his adored grandchildren: Griffin Handzus and Vivienne Handzus; his longtime partner, Mary Lee Martin; his brother, Doug Potts (Susan); and his sister, Lindsay Potts.
