Daniel Kennedy POTTER

POTTER - Daniel Kennedy
Much loved husband and friend, died at age 64 on November 6, 2020 suddenly yet peacefully. Predeceased by parents Joanne and Jack Potter and sister Susan Potter; survived by his loving wife, Michele Kennedy Potter; brother John Potter (Reno, NV), brother Peter Potter (Tampa, FL); nieces Melissa (Jason) O'Connor, Dena Potter and nephews James Potter, John (Sarah) Quartieri. Dan was a lifelong supporter of Causewave Community Partners, the organization founded in 1950 by his grandfather, Waldo B. "Pete" Potter, Eastman Kodak Vice President of Advertising, as the Ad Council of Rochester. Dan was a charter member of the organization's W.B. Potter Society, and an avid and compassionate student of a wide range of community issues, from organ donation to education to traffic safety. In addition Dan was an active sportsman managing both the RAA golf league and the Frog King bowling league. His love for sailing afforded him the opportunity to crew with Franz Schwenk on the Umi Taka of the Rochester Yacht Club and celebrated with a win of the hundredth anniversary of LYRA. He was a long term member of the Rochester Ski club and had his share of fishing trophies in both the U.S. and Canada. Last but not least he was an unwavering fan of the Buffalo Bills. Danny had a full and active life, dedicating himself to his wife, family, and friends. His greatest satisfaction was to share a story and a laugh. That dedication along with his natural ability and desire to make a positive connection with everyone he came into contact with, will be greatly missed. Donations may be made in Dan's memory to Lollypop Farms, www.lollypop.org. Arrangements by The Dietrich Funeral Homes, Inc., 2480 Kensington Ave., Amherst.
