Hank Conway Jr.

at his home in Raleigh, North Carolina. Hank was seventy-two years old.

Harry Joseph Conway, Jr. was born on April 25, 1946, to Elinor Callahan Conway and Harry

Joseph Conway, Sr. in Staten Island, New York. Hank spent his formative years in Washington,

DC and Northern Virginia. Hank graduated high school during the Vietnam era and was drafted

into the army at age eighteen. However, after serving just three months, Hank received a

medical discharge. Hank then worked two jobs while he attended Georgetown University in

Washington, DC.

Hank worked much of his life in the world of finance and was hired after college by the FDIC to

audit banks along the East Coast from Virginia to Florida. Eventually, Hank was hired by First

Citizens in Raleigh where he met Nanci Howell. Nanci and Hank started dating and were

married on October 21, 1983, in the Chapel at Meredith College in Raleigh, NC.

After leaving the world of banking and finance Hank thrived as an entrepreneur and working

side by side with Nanci started and built several successful businesses including a Yogurt

franchise, restaurants, a barter exchange, and finally Sunrise Cabinets.

Hank was known by his family and friends as a gentle, highly intelligent, soft-spoken and

generous man. He leaves a legacy of many grateful family and friends who he helped financially

and to whom he graciously opened his home. Hank was a voracious reader and when he

wasn’t working, could be found with his nose buried in a book. Hank was an avid investor and

had a real understanding of the economy and the stock market.

Hank is survived by his wife, Nanci Howell Conway, and will be truly missed by his extended

family.

A memorial service will be held for Hank at 1:00 PM on Saturday, February 23, 2019, at Brown-

Wynne Funeral Home, 1701 East Millbrook Rd. Raleigh, NC 27609. Reception to follow.
