I received an e-mail today from Brookies family with the sad news that he passed away on Dec. 22, 2021. So long my friend, you will be missed. Not only your contributions were an inspiration, but you were always there when needed. [[User:Marine 69-71|Tony the Marine]] ([[User talk:Marine 69-71|talk]]) 16:01, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

* Dear Brookie, I was so sorry to hear of your passing today.  And not without tears, despite our never having met.  From the time, years ago, that I started contributing, you were so kind and understanding.  You set up my user page, helped with templates, helped me get over some vindictive edits, and were always there with operational and ethical advice.  Even after a gap of a few years, I was able to call upon you and you picked up right where you left off.  Brookie, your expertise, support, kindliness and goodwill will be your legacy.  Having left the building now, rest in peace. "We are stardust; we are golden."   I will not forget you. [[User:FCleff|FCleff]] ([[User talk:FCleff|talk]]) 23:00, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
