Even those of us who never played for Coach Brooks were somehow made better by knowing and seeing his example of how to live. His wit and sense of humor, his dedication to this community will be sorely missed. To his family and the countless people who will grieve his passing, please take a measure of comfort that Heaven has been made just a little more joyous at his arrival and let your sadness be for all the millions of people in the who live their lives without ever knowing a Coach Brooks.
