He began work at the Oak Ridge Y-12 National Security Complex in 1965, following a stint in the US Air Force and undergraduate training in nuclear engineering at the University of Tennessee. During his 37 years tenure at Y-12, he rose to Senior Staff Engineer and Deputy Manager of the Nuclear Criticality Safety (NCS) Dept. Over the years, he gained many friends in the nuclear criticality safety community, both locally and nationally. He was highly regarded and respected by his peers. Mr. Handley would frequently recount stories to younger engineers about the 'old days' in Oak Ridge. As a young engineer himself in the mid-1960's, he regarded Dr. E. "Charlie" Crume as his mentor and would consult with him through out his career. He 'grew up' in the nuclear field with Messieurs Howard Dyer, Calvin Hopper and Richard Taylor, all of whom he regarded as friends and well respected colleagues. In more recent years, he served as the senior engineer and mentor to beginning nuclear critical safety engineers in the Y-12 NCS Department. He was especially proud of the accomplishments of Ms. Susan Turner and took great delight in watching the professional maturity and achievements of Mr. Allan Krass (ORNL). He always provided thoughtful and helpful insight into nuclear criticality safety issues, both to beginning and senior level engineers. In recent years, he and his good friend, Dr. Kenneth Lewis, often held many fruitful discussions about nuclear projects of major impact to Y-12 and to the nation. His chief concern was always the safety of fissile material workers and operations and he invariably staunchly defended this position through out his career. He was a great asset to the Y-12 National Security Complex and to the Nuclear Criticality Safety community as a whole and will be greatly missed. In addition to his wife, he is survived by: mother and step-father, Anna Mae and Les Cornell of Proctorville, Ohio; daughters, Kathryn Handley of Des Moines, Iowa, Anna Handley, a senior at Oak Ridge High School and Cherry Mitchell of Centerville, VA; step-son, Michael Tipton, who he considered to be his son and Michael's wife, Donna and their two children, Hunter and Zachary, all of Taylorsville, KY.
