Management

Randy Brooks was the Board of Directors President approximately from 2000 to 2011.  He was asked to join the Board by the previous President, Johnny Hill.  Randy was born with sight in 1953.  He was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 9.  This was a time before Diabetes was widely understood and the insulin used to control the disease was derived from cattle.  He lost his eyesight from Diabetes in his early 20’s.  He fought to keep his mobility throughout the next several years.  He was afflicted by carpal tunnel in both wrists, arthritis, heart disease, and kidney disease.  He lost both of his kidneys and was fortunate enough to undergo 2 separate kidney transplants.  The first was transplant was from his then Mother-in-Law and they were among the very first Non-Relative kidney transplants ever done in the United States.  After several years, that kidney was also destroyed by diabetes.  His next transplant was from his oldest adult son.  Unfortunately his life was cut short at the age of 54 when he died as a direct result of Diabetic Neuropathy.  During his years as President of John Milton Manor Corporation, he was devoted to making the organization succeed.  He was the reason the 3rd property in Monrovia was acquired.  He wasn’t afraid to do upgrades and improvements as needed to the properties.  And he worked toward building the organization into a sustainable non-profit.
