Before I retired, and before Jim was transferred to Puyallup, we talked nearly every day- his desk was near mine, and I had no idea he passed away-in fact, he was explaining something at our team meeting when I had my stroke in November,2015.I apologize for this late entry, but i had no idea he had passed away....
Kathy, may memories give you and your family strength during this difficult time. One of our greatest memories of Jim was him introducing Kenny to a "duck fart" while in Cabo with the Vaughns. Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Half the fun of attending Stadium High School was having Jim Brooke as a friend. He was popular and loved by all. One time Jim and I drove to Millersylvania State Park for a party. We had an ample supply of beer, but neglected to take sleeping bags and a tent. We ended up sleeping in his Karman Ghia. I am sorry that Jim has left us too soon! Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
Truly yours,
Les Merz
I had the pleasure of being a friend, a teammate and a co-worker of Jim's over the past 35 years, it truly was a joy to share life's ups and downs with someone as credible and sincere as you would ever want to meet. RIP
I count myself very blessed to have been Jim's friend and we got to work on many projects together at Comcast. I will miss our daily conversations about the next fire that always needs to be put out. To Jim's family I pray that once your tears have subsided and your grieving ends that a million happy memories take the place of your sadness.
Godspeed Mr Brooke!!
Your friend always,
Brad Carter
