Our beloved brother and uncle, John Edward Hanaway, age 63, passed away on September 4, 2019 with his family by his side. John was born August 2, 1956 to Arleen (Farrell) and Thomas Hanaway in Green Bay, WI. He attended Wrightstown High School as well as NWTC. John was an electrician and worked at Veratec Industries in Green Bay and Coating Excellence in Wrightstown. He was a member of the Southern Brown County Conservation League, a chapter of the Izaak Walton League.
