H.P. “Hank” Albarelli Jr., author and Burlington native, died on June 18 from complications of a stroke. The eldest son of Nancy O’Neill Albarelli and the late Henry P. Albarelli Sr., he was 72. In recent decades, Hank and his wife, Kathleen McDonald, made their home in the Tampa Bay region of Florida, where he passed away surrounded by family.
From a young age, Hank was a passionate and knowledgeable student of contemporary music, especially blues and rock. In the 1970s, he produced Burlington’s first annual Blues Festivals, as well as the first Vermont concerts of Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne and Judy Collins.
After leaving Burlington for Washington, D.C., in 1978, Hank worked in the Carter White House and, later, as a field director for the Service Employees International Union.
During the '90s, he returned to an early interest in writing for the theater. His play The Whole Shebang was winner of the 1994 Baltimore Playwrights’ Festival.
In recent decades, Hank wrote exclusively investigative journalism, pursuing such topics as the CIA’s role in the suspicious death of a government scientist (A Terrible Mistake), and the assassination of JFK (A Secret Order). He recently completed a forthcoming book titled Coup in Dallas.
Living just a stone’s throw from a Gulf of Mexico beach, Hank delighted in the fact that his two sons from a previous marriage, Damien and David, and David’s wife, Vicki, had all settled within a few miles of him. He was also a proud and doting grandfather and traveled frequently to the London home of his daughter, Nicole, a filmmaker; her partner, Paul Centellas; and their two sons, Dylan and Ashton.
Hank is also survived by Ms. McDonald; his mother; four siblings, Nancy (Gardner), Michael, Dean and Beth (Lane); and many fond nieces and nephews.
H.P. Albarelli Jr. What a great name for an author. Hank spoke with me many times, in depth, about many things. One of the most recent discussions was about the Maitland case. He was desperately trying to figure it out, and when I agreed to assist, he was ecstatic. Then life's twists and turns caused time to pass and we did not complete the task. Mr. Maitland can rest assured that Hank was devoted to the case. The life of this man, no matter when it ended, was destined to leave unfinished business. I only wish we could have had just a little more time to clear up some things that now may never be resolved. I respected Hank and I believe in the work. I am thankful for his friendship and our professional relationship. Thomas Hussman - El Salvador

I first met Hank when he purchased some rare electronic music from my Amazon shop and then continued to be friends over the years, eventually design his website. He introduced me to the author Joan Mellen, who's website I've managed for several years. A great guy, I got to hang with him a few times in Asheville, where he was working with Ralph Ganis on a book. He was an instrumental source in Errol Morris' Netflix doc, Wormwood, for which he received no credit (thanks Errol!). If you want his well-researched account of Frank Olsen read "A Terrible Mistake". He was very involved in human right's issues, and was interested in my experiences with homeless street kids while living in Colombia. Hank took great joy in his family, and his grandson, and his facebook page was always alive with pics of them. I am saddened to learn of his passing.

I met Hank while entering the investigation of Brianna Maitland's disappearance. Hank was a wealth of knowledge on the subject and was responsible for bringing her case into public awareness on a much needed large scale. Always willing to give me his time, advice and caring words, I'd wished I'd met him sooner. . He always asked how my family was. He didn't know them but was genuinely concerned simply for me. I never miss an opportunity to brag that Hank called me a friend.

This is devastating news. Hank helped South African baboons and monkeys on many occasions with the Darwin Primate Group as one of the board members. His friendship, heart and wisdom will be greatly missed. Karin Saks

I met Hank when he became interested in my missing daughter Brianna Maitland. He used his investigational journalism skills to try to find Bri and wrote a great article, that to date is finest written on her case. He had a great heart and strong sense of justice. I will miss him and owe him a debt I can never repay.

"A Terrible Mistake" was a monumental piece of work. Sad news. Was looking forward to his bio of George Hunter White.
