More to the kind of guy he was….on one of my first passes in a street roadster at No Problem a few years back, Mr. Joe passed by on his golf cart and complemented the car. A while later as I was getting in he drove up next to me and said, “Hey Lil Brown, you know if your dad was here he would tell you to be careful and take your time.” Mr. Joe knew my dad, the late Jim Brown, from his early years of hot rodding. Those words meant a lot.

I remember him entertaining a group at James “Buggy” Parkers yearly crawfish boil held during State Capitol Dragways NHRA divisional days. NHRA’s Bob Frey was there listening intensely so you know the stories were great! He had enough stories that night to fill a book….! He will be missed but always remembered. R.I.P and prayers to the Joe, Mr. Jeff and the rest of the family.
