Mark Brewer of The Motorworks passes away

[bkhpah]

Anyone who knows the SCW knows Mark Brewer. Mark is the go to guy on all of our engines. Today we were shocked to learn that he passed away after complications with surgery to remove a tumor that was in his leg. This is a very sad day in Latrobe...BKH http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

So sorry to hear about Mark's passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and all of the SCW crew.

wow...very sorry to hear that.

His last engine for us was Tony Lucas' DANA 427. He was very happy with that one. He was having a hard time finishing the engine and Mark was anxious to squeeze a bit more power from that 427. The plan was right after Chicago to give the motor a final tweek after he got out of surgery. Mark was a true "good guy" in the hobby, and his loss is very difficult for us...BKH

Our condolences to the family and the SCW group as I am sure you were all very tight. What a tragic loss and over something likely deemed a very straightforward surgery. Very tough.

Sorry to hear this Brian. It's bad enough to lose anyone in the car hobby, but to lose a close friend as well, ..... and unexpectedly, .... it shakes us to reality. Hold your friends close and cherish every minute.

My sincere condolences.

Brian,

My condolances as well. It is tough to lose a good engine guy, and heartbreaking to lose a good friend- but when you lose your #1 engine guy that also happens to be a great friend it is tragic. I certainly know and appreciate the bond we all have with people we deal with this closely in our line of work. I've used the same engine guy for almost 20 years, after a while they are your FRIEND first and your engine builder second.

Again, very sorry for your loss and that of all that knew him. Sounds like a solid guy, and we need as many of those around that we can get.
