I remember with fond memories the good times and rough housing with my cousins when I was younger at the farm. Lloyd as well as Effie were always good to be around. Lloyd will be missed.

I was so sorry to hear about Lloyd but I'm glad that we did get to see him and his wife Effie a few years ago. He was so sweet and kind. He will be missed. Our prayers are with Effie and his family at this time of sadness.

My sincere condolences to the Potter family. I knew Mr. Potter growning up as a child and spent many days and hours with his daughter Roselyn on thier farm in Brooklyn. To this day I can still see his warm smile and his wink of approval when I tried to help out in the barn. My God be with you, Rosanne Demmer
