Along with representing numerous non-profit housing developers. Crooks devoted substantial volunteer time to many community efforts - serving as the Chair of Transition Projects, Chair of the Union Gospel Ministries, and a key member of the planning team that produced the City’s Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy. It was Crooks’ devoted legal work that paved the way for the City’s successful effort to assist a community non-profit ac­ quire the Dominion Capital inventory. “This is a terrible loss to all of us,” Kafoury said. “I don’t know of one other person who has worked as hard or accomplished as much for low-income housing in such a short period of time.” Crooks died of an unexpected heart attack while running Saturday evening.
