Philo J. Brooks, who served 14 terms in the Niagara County Board of Supervisors and its successor, the County Legislature, was a quiet political legend. When Philo Brooks spoke on the floor of the Legislature, everybody listened to him, because they had great respect for him, William L. Ross, a longtime Legislature colleague, said Tuesday.
Mr. Brooks, of Porter, died Monday in Our Lady of Peace Nursing Home, Lewiston, where he had been a resident for about a year. He was 92. He was a true gentleman, smart as a whip, recalled Dennis F. Virtuoso, the only current legislator who served with Mr. Brooks. He knew the county inside out. He was an eloquent speaker, too.
