Notes |
- He retired in 1969 from Pure Oil Company after 30 years of service. He was a long-time member and deacon of Liberty Baptist Church in Wakefield. He enjoyed going ginseng and mushroom hunting. He raised quail and pheasant to be released into the wild, and watched the birds that nested in the birdhouses around his home and fed at the feeders in the back yard. He and Evelyn hosted many family wiener roasts in the grove behind their home near Dundas. He came from a hearty German background. His father and all five children lived unusually long lives into their nineties and beyond. His father was 101 and his sister, Fay, is 100. His other siblings, Ben and Roy Pottorff and Luna Lambird, were in their late 90s.
