Dear Mrs. Brooks, Steven, Austin and Ryan, I was so sorry to hear of this loss. I met Mr. Brooks through my work in the Johnson School Alumni Office, and was so impressed by his dedication to Cornell. Despite a very demanding career, he was so generous with his time on behalf of his/our alma mater. I hope that at this difficult time, it gives you some comfort to know that Mr. Brooks will always be held in the highest esteem by the alumni who had the good fortune to be his classmate. He will be dearly missed.
