Colleen, sending my deepest sympathies on the passing of your father. He was a great man and father. You were a very lucky daughter. My thoughts and prayers are with the Pothier family at such a sad time.

Mr. P. - I will remember you fondly...kind, gentle, good natured, and always helpful...who else would be "a personal snowplow" getting us kids to school on time on a cold February morning in that blue truck!
My sympathies to your family.

On behalf of the Stinson family I wish to extend our sincere condolences to the entire Pothier family.
I only knew Leo Pothier casually. We had met because I had his son David work for me from time to time over the last 10 years. On a few occasions my father Carl and I had the chance to chat with Mr. Pothier. My father and Leo both graduated from Medford High and had a lot in common.
I remember a situation

Uncle Richard was one of the last of the good guys on the planet, always there when needed to lend a hand never asking for anything in return. Always there for me when I visited, taking me everywhere like I was a son.
I'm gonna miss ya Unk, but I will never forget you or the life lesson I've learned from you.
Love ya forever,
Michael
