Albert Gordon Hendley, Jr. passed away on Friday, April 14, 2017. He was born on November 22, 1926 in Atlanta, GA. At age 90, Al was blessed with a sharp mind and keen sense of humor until the end of his life.

Al graduated from North Fulton High School, and attended UGA, GA Tech and then received his degree from GA State in the 1940s. He was a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity. Al married beautiful Phyllis Simms in 1949 and went on to have a fabulous life with his wife and their three children. He was a business and accounting consultant for the Pure Oil Co, EK Williams, and the Marcoin Co, a career which moved his family to Knoxville, Memphis, and Northern Virginia. Al and Phyllis came home to Georgia in 1993 when he retired and sold partnership in his firm, where they enjoyed many wonderful golden-age years.

He is preceded in death by his wife Phyllis, his parents Albert and Maude, and his youngest child Mark. Al is survived by his son Gordon (Jennie) Hendley of Gainesville, GA, his daughter Elizabeth (Steve) Hendley-Ramos of Marietta, GA, and his daughter-in-law Colleen Hendley of Alpharetta, GA.
