To all the Brooks family and friends, God Bless you in this time of sorrow.
Paul was always friendly and provided advice to young boys growing up in Brooks Crossroad. The stories he told of his experience made his words wise advice for teenagers. I will always remember and appreciate Paul taking the time to help kids.
