Paul was born in Griffin, GA to the late Horace P. Brooks, Sr. and Margaret Harper Brooks. He was a salesman at heart beginning his long career at a very young age when he helped his daddy run a laundry route. He continued selling for the Standard Company, The Jewel Tea Company, and The Interstate Life Insurance Company which later changed to American General. He was an avid Square dancer and also danced with Macon’s 1800 Club. Paul helped his daughter and son-in-law sell fudge and candies in the movie town of Juliette, Georgia. He greeted visitors as they waited in line at The Whistle Stop Café. He wore his tuxedo and top hat and was later honored by Governor Zell Miller as The Honorary Mayor of Juliette. He was a true Southern Gentleman!
Survivors include his daughters; Camille B. Watts, and Donna B. Pierce (Tony) Lavey of Macon, granddaughters, Kathleen Pierce Wilder, Susannah Leigh Hayes, and Deanna W. (Scotty) Sutton all of Macon, great grandchildren, Charlie, Aaron, Austin and Sam.
