Mrs Brooks, Terry, Gordie, Carol, Danny &Families,

How blessed all of you were to have such a kind, generous, loving father and grandfather. I am a long time friend of Dan, Corey, Emily and Brodie. They spoke so fondly of Dad and Grandpa and cherished living so closely to him and spending such fun times together with him. He made so many memories for them which will keep him alive in their hearts forever.

Our thoughts are with all of you at this difficult time. He will always be there to watch over each of you.

We are very sorry to hear of Mr. Brooks passing. Our memories of him will always bring a smile to our faces as he was such a nice man. Also, we have always appreciated the opportunity he gave Howard to go fishing with him on the Cowichan. It was an experience he remembers fondly and will never forget.

Our thoughts are with all of you and may all your good memories help to soothe and comfort you.
