William J Haladay

William Joseph "Bill" Haladay, 84, of Tampa, Florida, died on Monday, March 18, 2019. He was born on October 2, 1934, in Duluth, MN, to the late Frank and Charlotte Halada. He is Predeceased by his wife of 53 years, Penny, as well as his sisters, Fran and Rosemary and his brother, "Buddy". Bill is survived by his daughters, Kimberly (Pat) Campbell, Kristen Crawford, Katie (Dan) Marinoble, Kory (Robert) Skrob; sons Andrew and Peter; grandchildren Matthew (Stephanie) Campbell, Erin (Jose) Roca, Emily Crawford, Samantha (Clyde) Skrob and Robert William Skrob; and great-grandchildren Benjamin and Madeline Campbell, Ryan and Avery Roca; and beloved friend, Maeonia Taylor.

Bill and Penny migrated from the north in 1959, settling in Tampa. He took a sales position with AB Copymachines, and eventually became sole owner/president of the company. Bill catered to Tampa Bay area small businesses, providing all types of duplicating machines and associated products, but most importantly, outstanding customer service. When he eventually "retired" from his beloved company, he started a vending machine business titled "Pete's Treats" because he loved to tinker.

Bill moved to Tampa from Brandon in January 2014 to be closer to his daughters. He quickly ingratiated himself with the Elmcroft staff, and enjoyed all of his new friends. The family wishes to thank Dr. Jon DiPietro for the outstanding medical service he provided to Bill and Penny for many years, and to the Elmcroft staff for their excellent care and concern for Bill over the past five years.
