"Winters Express," Thursday, July 22, 2004
Robert H. Brooks

Robert H. Brooks passed away Saturday, June 26, 2004 at his home in Winters,
California.  He was born in La Plata, New Mexico on July 8, 1920 to Bert and
Avis Brooks.  He was 83 years old.

Robert, or Bobby as he was known to family and friends, served in the Navy
during World War II and extended his military career by serving in the U. S. Air
Force for 16 years, retiring in 1964.  Upon leaving the military he settled in
Davis, California and spent 16 years working for the Yolo County Probation
Department.

Bobby was a loving husband to his wife of 31 years, Bernadine Giraud, and a
caring father to his three sons, Clay, Kim and Brent and his stepson Michael
Giraud.  He enjoyed country living, open spaces and being in the company of
friends and relatives.  In his retirement years he and his wife boarded horses,
tended goats and chickens, and cared for numerous dogs and cats on their
property in the foothills outside of Winters.  Bobby loved reading, bar-b-ques,
Solitaire, and playing Mahjong on his computer.  He was a longtime fan of U. D.
Davis Aggie football and the Sacramento Kings basketball team.  Bobby will be
missed for his dry humor, kidding nature, and gentle spirit.

Along with his wife and sons, Bobby leaves behind brothers Stanley and Ray, and
a sister, Kay.  Grandsons, Jason, Daniel and Toby, and step Granddaughter,
Samantha also survive him.  Numerous loving great grandchildren as well as many
other relatives and friends also mourn his passing.

 A graveside service for Bobby was given at the Davis Cemetery on Friday, July
9, 2004.
