William A. Hanley, 85, of Colonie, passed away on Tuesday, March 26, 2019 at his home with his loving family by his side.

Following high school, Bill enrolled in Albany Business College and pursued some courses in business before becoming employed with JCPenny. For over 30 years Bill was employed by Albany Medical Center as a data controller, where he retired from in November 1996.
Bill enlisted in the US Army and served faithfully from 1955-1957 and received an honorable discharge. He was a member of the Korean Veterans Association of Lansingburgh as well as the Church of Saint Clare in Colonie and has been a communicant since 1966.
His hobbies and interests included sports, and he was an avid fan of many teams including; NY Giants, Red Sox, Kentucky Wild Cats and Notre Dame. One of dad's lifetime dreams came true when he got to go to the XXV Super Bowl in 1991 to see his beloved Giants vs Buffalo Bills. Go Giants! Bill was a very lovable man with a great sense of humor who loved spending time with his family.
Loving father of Kevin A. Hanley, Kimberley H. Galea (Joseph) and Erin M. Waterson (Frank).
Cherished grandfather of Ryann (Thomas) Stortecky, Jason Galea and Michael Galea and great grandfather of Matthew Galea, Tyler Stortecky and Leah Stortecky.
