I met Berry through his children and grandchildren and knew him as a smart, passionate, feisty man. It is wonderful to learn about him through these notes. I am honored to have known him and blessed to be close friends of Dave, Anne, Samantha, Sydney, and Donna.

Such an amazing and inspirational man and teacher. Mr. Brooks touched so many lives in a positive way. He will be deeply missed for his sharp wit, good humor, and just for being an all around good person.

During my 4 years at WHS, I had many good teachers, but none that I looked up to more than Mr. Brooks. To have someone so passionate about helping students learn was a wonderful time in my life. He had a way of helping us learn, not just dictating information. He was so instrumental in helping me prepare for college, and for life after college. He became a great friend and mentor, and it was a pleasure having him as guidance in my life.
To his family, Barry will be missed by so...

It was the little things: a shirt & tie, wickedly on target observations, and saying how you really felt made Berry Brooks a true original. Thanks for always preparing the test tubes for my favorite lab. May what comes next have endless an endless supply of chocolate.
