Dear Lynn
I have so many memories of both you and Bill. From the many camping trips, to the visits back and forth across the street in Champion; from Bill helping me with math to the both of you on my last Marine Biology trip. Bill despised me calling him Mr Brookes but it was a hard habit to break!
I am very sad to learn of Bill's passing. He has lived in my heart for all these years and will continue to live in my heart.
I am thinking of you and the 'kids' at this time.

Dear Lynn and family:
I have fond memories of your visits at Mabel lake and in Okotoks and remember good times and laughter. Stan and I had great respect for Bill as a friend and fellow teacher. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerly,
Pat Gibson
Sincerely,
pat Gibson

Dear Lynn and Family;
We were so sorry to hear of Bills passing, but God saw him getting weary and took his hand.
Our family has many fond memories of Bill as he was a remarkable tuitor, mentor,caring for many, and always willing to go that extra step to help.
I remember taking Ashley to the farm for a math session with Bill. When I returned two hours later, there was Bill standing over Ashley with a broom held over her head. I said "how's it going Mr. Brooks" and Bill replied, "If she doesn't get it, I'll beat it into her".
We loved his humor and his genuine love to help people.We have lost a very special person.

Lynn and family - I was so sorry to hear of Bill's passing and I know how much he will be missed.
My memories of Bill are always with a smile on his face, a twinkle in his eye and a pipe close by. We had such good times together - how times do change.
We wish you all the best as you go thru this difficult time - just know that he is in a good place - and I like to picutre him sitting around a fire - having a drink with Pete.
You are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.
