RIP

Hooters chairman found dead in home


Monday, July 17, 2006; Posted: 2:56 a.m. EDT (06:56 GMT)
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (AP) -- Robert Brooks, the chairman of Hooters of America, Inc. who made his fortune selling chicken wings served by scantily clad waitresses, was found dead at his home Sunday, officials said. He was 69.
It was unclear how Brooks died, but the Horry County coroner's office told The (Myrtle Beach) Sun News that an autopsy would be performed Monday.
Good health and family

Truly a great man.

Let's also not forget the countless strippers who got their start in the orange shorts. Without an outwardly less whorish stepping stone, who knows where they'd be.

Bob was like a father, guiding them to their calling.
