Family graveside services were held Sunday at 3 p.m. at the  Balcom Cemetery 
for Leonard T. Potocny, 56, of Ionia, who died Saturday in Lowell Medical 
Center.  The Rev. Kenneth Harger of Shiloh Community Church officiated.

Graveside military services were conducted under the direction of Robert

He served in France and Germany in the U.S. Army during World War II.

He was employed by Mitchell-Bentley Corp. for two years, prior to starting and 
operating his own air freight business in Chicago and Denver.  He sold his 
business in 1979 and returned to Ionia to care for his mother.  She preceded
