I knew Bob when we were were children. I lived next door to him until he moved east of Tulsa on 11th Street when Bob and I were 4 years old. I visited him there on numerous occasions. My family moved from Tulsa in 1955, and, I probably saw Bob once after that.

I´d like to extend my most sincere and deeply heartfelt condolences to the Brooks family at this time of such loss. Bob was a Chiropractic classmate, a Delta Sigma Chi fraternity brother and most significantly, a good friend while we were students at Palmer College Of Chiropractic from 1968 to 1972. I have great memories of our time as students. He was a very special man who will be missed by all who had the good fortune to have known him.

I'm heartbroken to hear about Dr. Brooks he definitely made a difference in my life. Getting to take care of his mom and later his house and whatever else he needed was priviledge I will always cherish. To the Brooks family I am so sorry and my prayers are for you to have some comfort and to keep his memories in your hearts.
