Iron Bess Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 We have lost a good Pirate.. It is with great sadness that I tell you that Bad Jack, Jim Potkey the lead singer for “Pirates of the Black Swan” passed away yesterday morning from what they believe was a blood clot. Kate says that the stress of losing the house and all their pets to fire was most likely too much. She is looking for help from any local black Powder folks since his wish was to have his ashes shot from a cannon. If anyone has a contact, please email me off list and I will get you in touch with the family. Such grand music that will now not be heard. Thanks mates, Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Gunpowder Gertie Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 There are no words for the sadness. First the fire, now this. Best wishes to his family, and crew.
Dutchman Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 we are sorry to hear of the loss of your crewmate. please pass respects to the family and crew. check your pm's.
Ransom Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Very sad news, Bess. Condolences to his family, and I really hope someone has a cannon that can shoot his spirit to the stars. ;=} ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 It is an admirable request he makes. I have made the same arrangements with my old Civil War friends; to have my ashes blasted across the lake from a six-pounder when my time comes. Were we closer I am sure it could be arranged, but such a distance makes it nearly impossible. I hope you find someone nearby willing to do this thing for his memory and the peace of his family. Bo
