I'm so sorry for the lost of Mr. Brooks. I remember when I use to live on Lewis St & McCulloch St, how my family would come there buy the ribs/chicken. The food was Great, miss the taste. To Helen and Jaela-my prayers are with you both and the family.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Brooks. While growing up in the 70s & 80s I remember playing basketball at the Y, and u could smell the BBQ coming from Brooks. People use to come from miles around to get some Brooks. I was always proud to say that Brooks was "Neighborhood". My thoughts & prayers to the Brooks family. Much love....
