Obituary For Albert Brooks
Albert A. Brooks, 73 of Harrisburg, PA, was born in Philadelphia, PA to the late Harry C. Brooks and the late Marguerite Dykes Brooks.
Al graduated from York VoTech and then started working at Acco Machine and Chain Company in York, PA. He retired after 35 years of employment with the company. He was “Big Al” to some and “TP” to others. He attended Harambee Church for many years. He loved motorcycles and became a member of the Buffalo Soldiers M/C of Harrisburg, PA. Al later retired from the club due to health issues. He was a football coach, loved bowling, skating and playing pool with friends but his most favorite place was “BILLS” the breakfast club (it is like cheers where everybody knows your name).
Al passed away peacefully at home on Friday, October 3, 2025 with his beloved wife by his side after his long battle with cancer.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Harry C. Brooks and Marguerite Dykes Brooks; his sister, Blanche; his aunt, Gloria and Uncle, Ralph.
He is survived by his wife, Toni A. Brooks; his sons, Harrison Brooks (Shaniqua) and Timothy Brooks (Lakiesha); his stepsons, Joey Davidson (Taneka) and Wesley Davidson (Carol); 11 grandkids and one great-grand, all of Harrisburg, PA; his brothers, Fredie Brooks of Lancaster, PA and Bernard Brooks (Naomi) of York, PA; his sisters, Yvonne Beard and Margaret Brooks of York, PA; his aunt, Shirley of Philadelphia, PA and his uncle, Joe of York, PA.
Al's life will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, October 13, 2025 in the Chapel of the Major H. Winfield Funeral Home, Steelton with a visitation from 10:30 a.m. until 11:00 a.m.
