My father, Jack Lee Hadley, passed away last week. He had been living with us for the last 5 years or so and has had some health struggles. We’ll miss him.
Many of our family’s friends and relatives were unable to attend the funeral, so we’ve taken the funeral’s content and created the video below. I hope it helps you celebrate the life of this good man along with us.
A few years before his passing, he and I had fun creating a little blog where we posted a few things about his life. You can view it >here.
