I still have fond memories of "Coach" Brooks from my World History class from the 50's and remember him over the years as one of the most likable people around town. I last saw him at a 1957 Reunion, a couple of years ago and remember the same energetic and likeable smile from years past. He'll be missed by so many. Godspeed "Coach".

Sorry to hear of Coach`s passing. I remember the days when he used to play golf as one of the regs back in the `70`s with my Dad. I would caddy for my Dad and he was part of the foursome. He had a lot of fun out there. We had a lot of fun just being around him during those matches.
