Barneveld- James C. Potter, 69, of Barneveld, NY passed away on Dec. 4th 2020 at the Waterville Residential Care Facility after a courageous 7 year battle with Alzheimer's. James was born on August 22, 1951, to James and Josephine Potter. He was a 1969 graduate of Poland Central School and attended Morrisville State College. On June 19th, 1977 he was united in marriage to Teresa L. Hudon, a blessed union of 23 years. James was a very talented crane and heavy equipment operator for nearly 40 years, working at Eastern Rock, Buck Construction and Tioga. He was an avid hunter and golfer, both hobbies he enjoyed with his brother in law and best friend Lee Crowther. He was a longtime member of Glass Hill Golf Club and a huge NY Yankees & Giants fan. James was a lifelong Republican, however this year he voted Democrat via absentee ballot from Georgia. His quick witted sense of humor and infectious smile will be missed by all that knew him. He is survived by his two children, Michele (Steven) Buck of New Hartford and Dave (Rebecca) Hudon of Clinton, his sister Joanne (Floyd) Covey of Cold Brook, six grandchildren and four great grandchildren, along with several nieces and nephews. The family wishes to extend a special thank you to all the staff at the Vermont Memory Clinic in Bennington VT, Brookdale Assisted Living in Clinton and Waterville Residential Care for their compassion and dedicated care. There will be no calling hours and a celebration of Jim's life will be held at a later date. Arrangements by Trainor Funeral Home, Inc. Boonville, NY
