Dear Family of Larry Brooks,
My sincere condolences goes out to you all. Larry was such a good soul with a great spirit. He touched so many of us including myself because he had just a way of connecting with people in general. He made a great impact on me over the years and I learned about people from watching him.
Sinncerely,
Sharon Lucas,
A childhood friend
