Ek was gelukkig om saam met my seun Armand die wedstryd in Nashua se losie te kyk.<\/p>\n

Maar soos altyd was ons te vroeg – twee ure te vroeg.<\/p>\n

Buite langs Loftus se B-veld het ons gestaan en wag.<\/p>\n

Toe daag Pottie op, Pottie Potgieter, Michael Potgieter, saam met sy boesemvriend Eric Heyns.<\/p>\n

En ons begin gesels, oor die Polisie, rugby, sommer alles.<\/p>\n

Lekker in die losie gekuier.<\/p>\n

Later het Pottie gebel om dankie te s\u00ea vir die lekker kuier: \u201cWas so lekker om saam met julle te kuier, hi, maar jy het \u2019n smart laaitie<\/i>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Lang pad saam met Pottie gestap.<\/p>\n

Pottie wat vir Ho\u00ebrskool Kanonkop uitgedraf het, wie jou broer Nico afgerig het.<\/p>\n

Pottie die Ougatte staatmaker.<\/p>\n

Pottie wat skelms kon vang.<\/p>\n

Wat in Jan van Riebeeckstraat volstoom afgehardloop het voor jou agter \u2019n dief aan.<\/p>\n

Pottie die polisieman.<\/p>\n

Pottie wat so lekker kon gesels waar julle mekaar ookal raakgeloop het.<\/p>\n

Sy gunsteling plek was Dros waar hy gereeld saam met sy pa en broer ge\u00ebet het.<\/p>\n

Maar ook Pottie oor wie jy bekommerd was en gereeld moes vra: \u201cIs jy ok, jy moet met my praat\u201d.<\/p>\n

Jy het geweet sy vriend Hennie Steyn se skietdood voor hom, jare se polisiewerk, trauma, dood, en nogmaals dood, moes \u2019n letsel gelaat het.<\/p>\n

Was altyd so bekommerd Pottie sou nie alles kon hanteer nie, dat hy dalk, ja, dalk…<\/p>\n

Maar Maandagogged word Pottie in sy huis gekry, dood.<\/p>\n

Natuurlike oorsake.<\/p>\n

Dalk sy hart, ons weet nog nie.<\/p>\n

Pottie Polisieman, Pottie die joviale mens, ons Pottie!<\/p>\n

Skuus, maar ek kan nog nie groet nie…<\/p>\n
