From Charli B of SIModified.com off MSS forum, Charlie is 'SIModified' here at our forum:

Just want to take a moment and let everyone know my father, Henry 'Hank' Brown lost his battle with Leukemia this morning in his home in Putnam, CT.

Hank was a fixture in the New England racing scene for well over 30 years as a tech inspector for the once new Pro Stock division at Riverside Park Speedway, and later also worked as tech inspector at the Thompson Speedway.

He also gave unlimited amounts of advice to fellow racers concerning chassis setup, while also building some of the strongest Chevrolet Mini Stock motors ever to run at Thompson.

Hank is survived by his wife Jane, sister Carol Gray, and 2 sons Alex and Charles.

Charles is a staff member at Mod Series Scene and also a member of the Whelen Southern Modified Tour community.

Funeral plans are not finished at this time, but the family wishes to publicly thank the Thompson International Speedway for letting us fulfill Hank's last wishes.

My condolences to Charli and his family.
