Franklin Otis Hadley, 63, of Stoneham, formerly of Malden, passed away on February 1, 2011 at his home in  Stoneham, Massachusetts.  He was born August 5, 1947 in Somerville, Massachusetts the son of Franklin O. and Evelyn  (Caristo) Hadley. Frank was born in Somerville and moved to Malden at an early age where he was raised and educated.  He graduated from Malden Vocation School with the class of 1965.   He then went on to Northeastern University where he received a degree in Mechanical Engineering.  After receiving his degree, he went to work for the Polaroid Corp, where he was for 18 years before moving on to the Dynetics Corp in Woburn where he was a Vice President.  He stayed with Dynetics for 20 years.  During the years, he became a co-patent holder of a specialized automated deburring and finishing system used by GE at their aircraft engine plant in Wilmington, NC. 

In 1980, Frank and Nancy J. Hall were married in N. Reading.  After a couple years together, they settled down in Stoneham.  Together they opened a store in Wakefield called "Amish Connection" , a specialty furniture and gift shop.  For almost 10 years Frank assisted Nancy with the store. Together they shared over 30 years together.

Growing up Frank was an avid hockey player.  He played for many years as part of the practice squad for the Boston Bruins, getting to practice players such as Phil Esposito.  Although a knee injury forced him to stop playing at that level, he never lost his love of the game.  He also was a passionate Patriots fan.  In his spare time he enjoyed fishing with his sons, and traveling with his wife Nancy, especially to Wrightsville Beach in NC.

He is survived by his wife Nancy J.(Hall), his mother,  Evelyn (Caristo) Hadley of  CA, his sons, Michael Hadley of Pepperall,  Paul Hadley of Andover, James Hadley  of FL,  and Todd Hadley  of Manchester, his step-daughter Nannette Skelley  of Wakefield, his brother Dennis Hadley of CA, his grandchildren,  Candace, Ashley, Thomas, Mitchell,  David, and Nicole, his nieces  Samantha and Tamara, and his nephew, Robbie Cummings.
