My sincere sympathy to the family of Lawarence Brooks. I remember Skeet from our childhood days on 3rd Ave, "uptown" Columbus. Playing sports across the street on Mchanney school grounds. Haven't seen him in a long time, but the fun memories are still in my mine. Rest in peace my dear friend.

Sending my sincere condolences to the family of Lawrence "Skeet" Brooks. May our Heavenly Father provide you the strength and comfort that you need during this sorrowful time. Lawrence and I met as sophomores at SHS and even at that time as a teenager he was a true gentleman. He was very intelligent,kindhearted and considerate of others. I am sure those attributes remained throughout his adult life. May you rest in peace Skeet. You were one of the Good Ones.4
