You will be missed Uncle Bob; especially that smile. It could light up a room! Rest in Peace.

My thoughts and prayers to the Brooks family. We all will remember those wonderful times and special memories during a life well lived. He coached my son during his Babe Ruth years. We enjoyed our times together on the baseball field and during our Babe Ruth meetings. Great smile to match his personality.
God Bless
