He passed away on Sunday, September 6, 2026, at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana. He was a resident of Greenfield, Indiana, and will be laid to rest at Riley Bentley Cemetery in Deane, Kentucky. We were blessed to have him with us for 88 years and 9 months.

He served in the Marine Corps for three years. He loved the Lord and listened to Les Feldick every night for over 30 years. He was a master craftsman who loved working with his hands and could accomplish just about anything he put his mind to. He will always be deeply loved and remembered by everyone who knew him.

He was married to Regina Sergent Potter for over 46 years, but he had three children from a previous marriage, Michelle Sirosky of Greenfield and Sherry Bell of Maryland.
