I wish to send my most sincere condolences to the family of Mr. Brooks. I had the honor of working for him as a manager for several years in the early 2000´s. I learned so much from him and I still think of him often. I just learned of his passing and my heart is heavy as I write this. He was on my mind for a good part of last summer and I wish I had taken a moment to reach out and say hi.
Mr. Brooks was such a unique character. He could make me laugh so hard with his humor and wit, while other times I wanted to pull my hair out lol. I will always remember his stories, his amazing ingenuity and drive, but mostly I will remember him as a friend and mentor. I never stopped caring for him even after we parted ways. He has my respect and admiration always. Here´s to you Mr. Brooks!! Thank you for everything. I pray you rest in peace. You are missed.
