A Tribute to Industry Veteran David Fell, B.G. Hoadley Quarries
The natural stone industry is saddened by the recent death of David Fell, president of B.G. Hoadley Quarries, who died on August 4, 2021, in Bloomington, IN, at the age of 59. David successfully led a multigenerational limestone business for over 35 years.
If it were ever true that a person had stone dust in their blood, it would be the Fell family. After completing a degree in marketing at Louisiana State University (LSU) in 1983, David returned to Bloomington to work alongside his brother, Chip, sister, Laura, and his mother, who picked up the mantel of B.G. Hoadley in 1977 after the passing of David’s father, Bert. Chip left Bloomington to pursue his own career in finance and Laura married and relocated to Chicago. David took the helm, eventually seeing his own children, Lauren and Garrett, join as the sixth generation in the family business.
