Hayward Albert Dredden, 79
BRIDGEVILLE - Hayward Albert Dredden of Bridgeville died Saturday, Oct. 28, 2006, in Nanticoke Memorial Hospital, Seaford.
Mr. Dredden was born in Whaleysville, Md., son of the late Pearl Jackson and Ford Duncan.
He completed his education at Frederick Douglass Elementary School, Seaford. He received various certificates from law enforcement, which led him to work on the Bridgeville police force for several years.
After serving on the police force, Mr. Dredden worked as a security guard at Delaware State College (now Delaware State University). He later became head of security at the college. He was employed there for 20 1/2 years before retiring.
He was very musically inclined. He loved playing the piano, organ and listening to jazz. He traveled and played in a local band for years. He loved hunting, fishing, shooting pool and just plain old "kickin' it." He loved sharing his wisdom and jokes with his family and friends. He also helped raise two grandsons and a granddaughter.
Mr. Dredden was a member of Masonic Temple Lodge No. 8, Milford, from 1971 to 2006.
He is survived by a son and a daughter-in-law, Robert G. Sr. and Patricia Dredden of Griffith, Ga.; five daughters, Estella Carter of Austin, Texas, Joanne Dredden of Seaford, Darlene Dredden and Evon "Trudy" Evans, both of Bridgeville, and Tasha Forrest of Frederica; two special grandsons, Eric Dredden and James A. Dredden, both of Bridgeville; a special granddaughter, Tokita K. Dredden of Seaford; 13 other grandsons; two other granddaughters; a very special goddaughter, Angeline Woolford of Seaford; and a very special godson, James "Sonny" Bell of Felton.
Services will be 1 p.m. Monday in Williams Chapel, Bridgeville, where friends may call two hours earlier.
Burial will be in Mount Calvary Cemetery, Seaford.
Arrangements by Bennie Smith Funeral Home, Seaford.
