In loving memory of Chris Potter who sadly passed away on 18th July 2026.
Chris was born in 1955 at Queen Mary’s hospital
Stratford. After leaving school he went to work for British Rail and then British Telecom, where he worked for the rest of his career. Chris had long wanted to be a DJ and found his niche at Radio Forest in Epping in around 1977/78 and continued to contribute to their broadcasts until his sad death. He is survived by his wife Linda, whom he married in 1980.

Thank you for years of friendship at Radio Forest and for the dedication to the charity for 50 years. You were a founding member of the organisation and it was much the better for having you and Linda as part of it.

May you rest in peace and rise in glory.
