Dr. Clovis John Brooks was one of the most accomplished
citizens that Canada has ever had. He brought a great deal of pride and respect
not just to his native land of Jamaica, but to the city of Toronto, the country
of Canada, and the British Commonwealth. He was a recipient of the Order of
Ontario, Order of Jamaica, Order of Canada, and Queen’s Jubilee Medal along
with an honorary doctorate degree in Law from Queen’s University in Ontario,
Canada. Dr. Brooks also received many other awards, designations, and medals
for his tireless efforts in supporting higher education and learning and
community involvement.
Dr. Clovis John Brooks was not just an inspiration,
leader, and role model he was also my grandfather and one of the chief reasons
I grew up to become the man I am today. I owe him a great deal starting from my
very early childhood. He was always around in my life growing up providing a
shining example of how to carry yourself as a professional with your head held
high along with intelligence in your brain, courage and honour in your heart,
and a sense of morality and justice in your gut.
Thank-you Grandpa for everything.
