Judy, Steve, Melissa,
Joan and I are so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. The years we lived beside each other were some of the best times of our lives. As you remember we had so much fun, on a limited income for both families, but it didn't keep us from having fun and enjoying each others company. Bill was definitely one of the good guys, and will be missed by many friends, and family members. Joan and I send our prayers for you and your family.
RIP dear friend Bill Hadley, you definitely made a difference on this portion of your life.

Uncle Bill always knew how to make you laugh.
I will never forget what his gift was for me & my husband on our wedding day. He made us both a beautiful set of rose wood pens, which I will use everyday in his memory. ❤️
Love & Prayers to Aunt Judy & family 🙏🏻❤️
