ARRANGEMENTS UNDER THE DIRECTION OF MICHEL FUNERAL HOME
I went to the Brooks house some time ago and I said hello Mr. Brooks and he said we are all adults you can call me Gary; I don’t think I ever did; He was always Mr. Brooks to me. He was a Very nice man. May he Rest in Peace!
My condolences to the family. I was a neighbor from March 1981 until he left his home. He was definitely a tough guy but through the years he softened up to a marshmallow. I’m going to miss the talks and the going back and forth that was descriptive of our relationship. Rest easy, Gary!
It was an honor to meet Mr. Brooks in the last three years of his life, and to be his advocate. Even in the handful of times we saw each other, I could tell what a character he was. I’m sure he is thankful for the love and attention to his care that you boys showed him so faithfully. I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to meet and work with Harry and Evan, and am praying for your hearts to heal.
The last time I saw Mr. Brooks, he wholeheartedly welcomed me into his home and insisted I have a seat. He was so jolly and warm to me. RIP, Mr. Brooks. My condolences to the Brooks Family.
