Capt(N) Brooks - he was such a dedicated person. To whatever he did in his life. I worked for him 10 years in CFEME and I enjoyed the entire 10 years. He loved his Mole and his 2 sons and yes he was very proud of them. I just found out that he passed away. Dr Brooks you were a great boss and a friend.

Chris and Elaine were our neighbours in Toronto and they became close friends. We visited them often as they did to us.
Chris was an amazing individual and brilliant. I enjoyed our visits and our chats.
I´ve never met anyone with his attributes and expect I never will.
So long my friend from your "Pongo" mate. You will be remembered always!

Chris, a mentor and friend.
Chris´ support, wisdom, and infectious enthusiasm made him an invaluable mentor and an unforgettable friend. In the early stages of my career, Chris introduced me to the world of accident investigation, sending me on a visit to several International Accident Investigation Boards and forever shaping my professional path. No slacking!
He had a unique gift for making everyone feel at ease and always knew how to bring light and laughter to any gathering. Carol and I treasure memories of our friendship with Chris and Elaine and many fine occasions enjoying their exceptional hospitality.
Chris, your legacy to aviation medicine and cold water survival will continue to inspire and guide us. Rest in peace.

Dr. Chris Brooks was my mentor when I worked at Survival Systems and introduced me to the worlds of consulting, presenting at conferences, and publishing.
I remember and honour him (and Elaine) for their kindness and support and am grateful to have had the opportunity to spend an afternoon with him last month (picture attached).
Although I'm so sad to no longer have him in my life, to honour his memory there will be no slacking, I'll turn my disadvantage into advantage and I will never surrender.
Thanks for a great run ashore.

Chris, what to say? The picture shows you, me, Keith Rhodes and Taff Scourfield The Medical Department undefeated quiz team in the Junior Rates mess HMS Renown on our first Patrol Suitably dressed of course. Most of all Chris you were fun. I remember you coming out of the wardroom looking a bit crestfallen telling me that the joke I had told you about Nelson's brown Trousers had just gone down like a lead baloon in there. Also on the first patrol, the time when your 1 gallon brew of bannana wine which you fancied to win the Renown wine brewing contest exploded filling your shared cabin with bannana foam including the two bunks of course!! I could go on forever.
Mon ami - My Friend. RIP Didn't take you long to go and find Mole!!
