Richard "Dick" Brooks passed away June 20, 2015 after a long,valiantly fought, battle with cancer. Raised in Holliston, MA he was a long time resident and business owner in Ossipee, NH until he retired to Mims, Florida. He will be remembered by his family and friends as a unique person who never passed up "a good time". He enjoyed playing softball for many years both in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. He was an avid candlepin bowler, and was a league member at Strike'n Spare. He loved sports of almost any kind and was a devout Red Sox fan, watching or listening to as many of their games as possible. He was an excellent horseshoe player, and even participated in the World Championship tournament in 2008 in York, PA. He was also passionate about cars. He loved hot rods of all sort especially ones that he built. His pride and joy being his 1953 Studebaker. His favorite place in the summertime was sitting on his deck overlooking Ossipee Lake. In the winter it was sitting on his deck in Mims, over looking his backyard, always with his dog by his side.

He is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Dorothy Brooks, his son Bill Brooks and family of Effingham, daughter Terri Drew and family of Center Ossipee, and youngest son Bob Brooks and Josie Domocol-Warren of Mims, his mother Eleanor Brooks of Holliston, MA, his brothers David and Philip Brooks and their families of Bethesda, MD and San Francisco, CA, respectively. He is pre-deceased by his father, John P. Brooks, also of Holliston.

A small service will be held at his Bermuda Road Club House from 6-8 pm on Saturday, June 27, with a celebration of his life to be held at a later date in Ossipee.
