Not sure what to say?

Mr. 'Bitter' graduated with my Mom in 1945 from OHS. I was honored to have met your Dad & Mom at some of the class reunions. My thoughts & prayers are extended to the Brooks family, during this difficult time.

Sorry to hear about Bitters passing, have not seen him in a while, but thought about him often. Hope Kim, David and Scott get over this tragic event. He was quite a neighbor and friend. My prayers go out to him.------Al

I am so sorry to hear of Brooks passing. Ill forever be grateful to him for hiring me as the first female PPO on his staff. He was a great boss and I learned a lot from him. Rest In Peace. Prayers for you, Kim, David and Scott as you mourn. Blessings.

My family and I are so sorry for your loss. We want to extend our sincerest condolences to you and your family. We will keep you and your family in our daily thoughts and prayers. May GOD bless ALL.

His sense of humor and friendly demeanor will be remembered and missed !

Bitter was such a dear brother in law to me. We always had a lot of laughs and talked about our golden memories on the telephone every Saturday morning. He loved the Lord and is with Him now and his beloved Bettye, my sister. David, Kim, Scott and families, God bless you with comfort and sweet happy memories of your dad.
Love you all very much,
Aunt Sarah

Sad to hear of Bitter's passing. He and my oldest brother were friends for many years.

Kim, Patrick and I are so sorry to hear about your father. We know that he was a good man and we know that he is with your mother and with the Lord. Our prayers go out to you and your family.

This was my Uncle Bitter! He had a wonderful outlook on life..... always happy and never met a stranger. If you ran into him at the grocery store, the health club or church....he was always visiting with someone. One thing for sure is he loved my Aunt Bettye! They are together again in heaven. You will be missed Uncle Bitter!
