Paul D. Hadley, 82, of Barryton, passed away at home on Saturday, November 30, 2019. Paul was born on April 27, 1937 in Mt. Pleasant, MI to Hubert and Lillian (Meade) Hadley. He went to school in Barryton and was in the graduating class of 1955. On February 12, 1955 he married Doris M. Bissett in Evart. Together they raised three children, restored antique furniture and cars, and enjoyed wintering in Florida. Paul was strong willed and a provider. He had a keen sense of humor, a love for animals and was known to tell a joke or two. Paul was "The Boss" for many years at MichCon (ANR Pipeline now DTE). In 1964 he started as a mechanic at MichCon and worked his way up to Drilling Supervisor. Although Paul retired in 1980 and this gave him more time to hunt and fish, the gas company, rigs and the crews, were where his heart was. Paul couldnt help going back to work as a consultant for several years before fully retiring in 1995. Paul is survived by three children, Kim Hadley of Barryton, Paula Hadley of Barryton, Pamela and her husband Jerry Bercot of FL; four grandchildren that he held close to his heart, Holly, Angel, Matthew, Travis; ten great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild (with two on the way); one sister, Nancy (Rodger) Hose; one sister-in-law, Betty Hadley; daughter at heart, Helen Hadley and many extended family members and friends. Paul was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 57 years, Doris in 2012; a brother, Jack and brother and sister-in-law Hubert and Marilyn Hadley.
