COLUMBUS, Ind. — Tony Pottorff a Columbus East High School social studies teacher who has been battling Stage 4 breast cancer since 2017, has died.
His wife, Margie, posted this on social media on Friday night:
“At 5:30 pm today I lost the greatest love that I’ll ever know on this side of heaven. Jesus took my sweet loving husband to be with him. My forever and always love.”
Pottorff had been a teacher for more than 20 years, and his students and friends wore pink T-shirts every Tuesday with the message “Tony’s fight is my fight.” That tradition started at East in 2017 has continued even during home-based eLearning.
