Henry H. "Hank" Francois, age 87, of Green Bay, passed away peacefully in his sleep, Sunday, Nov. 24, 2019 at his home, with his beloved wife (Peggy) at his side. His death was attributed to complications from an 8 year battle with Alzheimer's Disease. He was born Oct. 2, 1932 in Green Bay, son of the late Henry and Margaret (Vander Linden) Francois.

Hank enjoyed parking campers for Packer games for over 40 years. He also loved to listen and dance to Polka music. He liked to work crossword puzzles and word searches. Hank was a hard-working man but always made sure to make time for his family.
