Edyie Potts posted this regarding Al Potts funeral: A's full obituary will be in the paper Monday evening. 
Here is a part of it: 
The family will receive Visiting at Boylan funeral home Evans City Rd from 1-3 & 6-8 PM, Tuesday, August 16, 2016. 
Full military service and committal will follow. Al’s ashes will be buried at family’s convenience. 
Al was kind and generous. In his memory pay it forward, buy a stranger a meal, drop of a bag of food to a shelter, that is what he would want.

Eddie has passed.

More bad news Edyie Potts

by Donna Fuller on 08/01/16

I have very sad news. Spoke w/Edyie Potts today who said that Al Potts won't make it, and has only two months to live. Edyie is moving him from hospital to hospice, and she asked that we pray for Al. I'm very sad and in tears!

We are losing members too fast.  Be good to each other.

More Bad News Harry Hoy

by Donna Fuller on 07/27/16

  Bad things always come in 3's.  We have lost our 3rd brother.  Harry Hoy an original member of our 2/3 organization passed away this past week from cancer.

  he had been fighting cancer for some time and it had returned.  
  Harry was an original member of our organization,  He had been active from the beginning.  For many years he was a great treasurer as well as company rep.  The team of  Harry and Bosco have helped make our organization as successful as it is today.  I do not believe there will be any service for him per his request.
  He will be much missed.
  May he Rest in Peace with other brothers.
        Respectfully Submitted
