MR.ROSENBROOK WAS ONE OF THOSE TYPE OF PEOPLE YOU NEVER FORGET. HE WAS ONE OF MY ORIGINAL SUPERVISORS AT THE DOT LABORATORY ON THE GEORGIA TECH CAMPUS. HE AND OTHERS TOOK A CHANCE ON ME WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG AND “DID NOT HAVE A CLUE.” I WILL NEVER FORGET HIS EVER PRESENT SMILE AND HOW HE TREATED EACH OF HIS EMPLOYEES AS HIS FRIEND. HE CERTAINLY WILL BE MISSED AND I WILL NEVER FORGET HIM! GOD BLESS YOU DURING YOUR TIME OF SORROW.
Mr. Rosenbrook seemed to never meet a stranger and would always meet you with a smile. He was very helpful to me going through the training program in his department at the DOT lab. I will always cherish his friendship. May God be with the family during this time.
