I just heard the Rev. Brooks died. I used to love going by their shop and visiting with him and his wife. He would always have a treat for my dog and if he didn't he would pull something out of his own lunch. The Rev. and Mrs. Brooks really helped make Bloomingdale a special neighborhood. I will certainly miss him.

We were sorry to hear about the passing of Reverend Brooks. He did some great upholstery work for us, too. Indeed, we extend our prayers and deepest sympathy to his wife, children, and family.

I am so sorry about Rev. Brooks's passing. I have wonderful memories of my conversations with him and literally every piece of furniture in the house has been done by him at least once, so I think of him all the time.
