I'M 82 YEARS OLD AND RETIRED IN LAS VEGAS, BUT A MILWAUKEE NATIVE. I'VE SEEN THE POTZNER NAME FOR SEVERAL DAYS. YEARS AGO, WHEN I WAS A YOUNG KID, I USED TO GO TO THE TV / RADIO LIVE PROGRAMS AT WTMJ-TV / RADIO AND THERE WAS A JOE POTZNER WHO PLAYED AN INSTRUMENT ON A NOON TIME SHOW WITH A GROUP CALLED THE "GRENIDEARS". I NEVER KNEW LONI. I KNEW THE SOREF FAMILY WHO CREATED MASTER LOCK WHEN THEY WERE AT 32 & CENTER STREET.

I worked with "Potsie" for over 14 years at Master Lock. She was excellent at her job, and had the best sense of humor! As an example, she told me that she was on an all-female bowling team; the name of the team: THE BOWLING BAGS.
One of a kind, she will be missed.
