Hadn't seen Brooke since the Austin days, but he was a great friend. One of a great group of folks I knew in chautauqua. We rode together to Austin and I have thought about him often since then. God's peace to you, brother.

Brook was a friend of mine. I met him in the mid '90s when he was doing work at Katz's Deli in the way of maintenance and repair jobs. He was the person I would call on to stay at my house when I would be out of town to care for my dogs. They just loved him. I know that's always a sure sign of anyone's good spirit. I am saddened by his passing and will always think of him as having a kind heart and gentle soul. May his spirit rest in comfort and peace.

I never know Brooke as an adult,  but as a child, he was my favorite older (by 3 years) cousin.  I have fond memories of visiting him at his house in LaVale, Maryland.  We built lean-to forts in the field near his house and got into minor mischief with his bb gun.  Brooke's father who was in the Navy gave Brooke a seaman's watch cap when he was 9 or maybe 10.  Brooke loved that cap so much, he wore it evrywhere, even to bed, or as family lore would have it, even a bath time.  We all lost track of Brooke a some point in his early adulthood.  I tried to look him up one time when I was in Austin on business, but was unsuccessful.  Maybe I didn't try hard enough.  I don't know the circumstance surrounding Brooke's life or death.  I am sorry I didn't get a chance to go down memory lane with him about our childhood experiences togehter.  I only hope that he was with someone who cared and loved him at the end.

Brooke was my cousin. I have very fond memories of me and my brother playing with Brooke and his sister at their house in Maryland. We had a lot of fun as kids.
I was deeply saddened to learn of his death.
