Long story short, Chris Brooks, son of the late York City Councilwoman Elizabeth Brooks, died in Austin, Texas, recently and left behind 400 gator heads. Brooks' friend, Randy Schiller, has custody of the gator heads in the basement of his York home.
Randy is selling the gator heads to pay to have Chris cremated and perhaps have his ashes returned to Pennsylvania where they can be interred with his mother.
If you want to help, you can buy one of the gator heads -- yes, they are real gator heads -- at the York Emporium at 343 W. Market St., in York. They cost $15. All proceeds go to helping Chris and his family and friends with the funeral costs.
Jim Lewin, owner of the eclectic used book/antique/weird stuff shop, said he sold two of them on Sunday and has about a couple dozen in stock.
