Anthony Edward Hadley, Sr. lived a wonderful, adventurous and purposeful life. He provided care, comfort, and support to many while asking for nothing in return. He was full of love and there wasn't a person in sight he didn't treat as family. His happiness truly came from family, fishing, helping all those in need, but mostly he loved to drive his tractor, 8520 John Deere, and drink his RED SODIE POP. Anthony truly believed in helping someone, even when he didn't have it himself. He leaves behind the hopes and dreams of a community where God's love leads and guides us all. Whenever you are giving unselfishly, drinking a cold RED SODIE POP or sitting on your porch, know that he is still living amongst us, he is in your heart and spirit.
