Jan. 19—With deep sadness we report the death of Alan Brooks at the age of 51. The cause of death is apparently a heart attack that occurred while Alan was cycling.

The funeral service took place at St. Columba's on Sat., Jan. 28, at 2:30 pm.

Mary Chaffe Brooks and their daughter, Nancy, have asked that you keep them in your prayers but refrain from calling and visiting at this time.

May Alan's soul, and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
