Richard Gorden Brooks Obituary

At peace on Friday, July 1, 2022. On September 11, 1941, When Dick was born; the world became a better place. Dick was 80 and lived in the Sarnia area all his life. His working career began in 1958 with Imperial Oil, sailing the Great Lakes and the Canadian East Coast on the tanker SS Imperial Simcoe and lastly retired in 1993 from Vulcan Packaging (National Steel Drum) in Petrolia after 28 years of service.
