Henry B. Hince age 70 of Elmwood, passed away on Thursday, March 16, 2017 at his home in the Township of Rock Elm.

Hank was born on December 22, 1946 in Eau Claire, WI.  He was the son of Frank and Gloria (Kadinger) Hince, Sr. of Plum City.  Hank grew up in Plum City and graduated from Plum City High School.

Hank loved everything outdoors and never met a stranger he wouldn’t talk to.  He enjoyed fishing, scuba, and playing cards.  He had a gift for construction and enjoyed the challenge of solving problems for others, especially if it involved using his Bobcat.  Hank was an active member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church and choir and was also well known in the community for helping anyone that asked, especially neighbors and farmers.   Hank will surely be missed.

    I'm so sorry for your families loss. I never met Hank. My daughter Amanda is a long time friend of Janelle's. The comments and stories she told about her father made me think he was a "real corker" and a lot of fun to be around. I know you all will miss him. "Time is a gentle healer". Prayers for your family.
