Jack Brooks

Dear Charlotte, Kate, Rod, Kim, Jeb and Janice,

Six words immediately came to mind when I thought about my friend. AMERICAN TEXAN CONGRESSMAN MARINE HUSBAND FATHER and we can put the word GREAT in front of all of them. He was one of kind and left a legacy that directly relates to those six words. It was an honor and a privilege to have the relationship that we had.

He reflected great credit upon his country, his state, his Marine Corps, his community, his family, and himself. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless you.

I met you many years ago and I found you be a special person. You never met a stranger. To you everyone is somebody. To your family I must say I feel as if I have lost a member of my own family. You are in my prayers! God bless!

My condolences to BROOKS family during this time of grief. Mr BROOKS will be missed.

Dear Family and Friends:

I just wanted to take a moment to offer my sincere condolences on the passing of our dear friend, Jack Brooks.

Below are my views of Mr.Brooks :

1) The Jack Brooks I knew had great courage. He was never afraid to speak out against the status quo and conventional wisdom……..

2) The Jack Brooks I knew had amazing wisdom. He always knew his subject matter - - and could always defend it…..

3) The Jack Brooks I knew had conviction. He always felt strong about his ideas, no matter what anyone else thought.

4) The Jack Brooks I knew had clarity. His message was typically simple, concise and easily understood…..

5) And the Jack Brooks I knew had credibility. He dang sure knew how to walk the walk and talk the talk.

No one had more compromising integrity than Mr. Brooks . He always thought with discipline and honesty. He could sort through flattery, through politics and could always see things as they truly were.

He was a most remarkable man. I always viewed him as incredibly competent, very caring and amazingly confident.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Family.

My deepest sympathy is extended to Charlotte, and family. Jack was a family friend, and it was because of him that I was encouraged to join the DNC. I have worked in Dem Politics all these years, from age 18 to now, age 70. I speak for the Ralph Savino Family. He was one of the finest men we have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
