<div>Hi everyone, my name is Michelle (Francis) Smith, younger sister of Gregory Andre Francis you may know him as G-Nice on the court or as Coach Francis. You may have heard the news of the passing of our beloved Greg and it may have come as a shock, as it did for us, but the life he lived was so filled with joy.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>His legacy as a finessed basketball player and as a coach who focused on youth development and high permanence skills was felt by many over the last few decades. But to us, he was a son, brother, father, Uncle, cousin, and so much more. He was just kind and he cared.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even after all of his accomplishments in sports, his pride was the love of his family and his greatest achievement is his daughter Lilia. Greg worked hard to create a legacy for us as his family. We want to continue that to pay tribute to him.
