"Hank, Pop and Daddy Brown"

Henry Lamar Brown was born on May 19, 1945 to the union of Mary Sykes and John Brown in Alcoa, TN and raised in Niagara Falls, NY. Henry accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior at Gregg Chapel C.M.E. Church, where he served as a Trustee for over ten years.

Henry united in holy matrimony with Lorine Williams on November 24, 1967 in Racine, WI. Their union was blessed with four children, Henry's son, Tracy (Niagara Falls, NY); along with their three daughters, Regina, Sonya and Cheryl (All of Racine, WI). The couple has celebrated fifty-one years of love.

He was employed by Consumer Steel/Racine Recycling as a Crane Machine Operator for over thirty years. Henry loved his hats and collected many. He was a competitor and loved to play Connect Four and Checkers with his children and grandchildren. Henry was a great sketch artist and spent time enjoying coloring contests with his girls. Traveling to Wisconsin Dells for the annual family reunions with his family was a joy.

Henry served as a faithful member and board member of New Covenant Church for over seventeen years. His presence was a delight, because his gift of encouragement blessed many.
