NISKAYUNA- James Bartley Hanley passed away suddenly on August 23, 2017. He was 32 years old.
James was a graduate of Niskayuna High School who loved the outdoors and spending time with his family. His sense of humor, his kindness, his love of family and his compassion for animals were what made James such a joy to be around every day. He had an infectious personality, to say the least. After a career in the food industry, James was looking forward to attending the ECM program at HVCC this fall.
