Frank Greathouse Obituary

Frank J. "Paco" Greathouse, 69, of Necedah (nuh-SEE-duh), Wisconsin and formerly of Granville, passed away Saturday, September 27, in his home, surrounded by his family.
Services will be held Saturday, October 25th from 1-4pm at The Roadhouse Bar in Necedah, Wisconsin. The Helmer-Shields Funeral Home in Granville is entrusted with the arrangements.
Frank was born October 4th,1955, in Spring Valley to William "Blue" and Marjorie (Platt) Greathouse Sr. He married Mary Mennem April 5, 1973, in Granville.
Paco lived his life on his own terms. He was the "head wrench supervisor" when it came to his garage. He loved fishing and riding his classic Harley Davidson. Also, Friday night cards in his garage with his friends and camping. He was an avid Packers fan, and he could name any old car from a mile away. Most of all he enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He was a big man with an even bigger heart.
Frank is survived by his wife Mary of 52 years of Necedah, two daughters, two sons, three granddaughters, three grandsons, one great-granddaughter, a sister, two brothers, nieces, and nieces and nephews.
Condolences may be sent to his family in care of Helmer-Shields Funeral Home in Granville.
