Alger Electric has been family owned and operated since 1946, when it was founded by the late William H. Alger . In the early years, the company only provided residential services, but by 1954, when Emmett H. Brooks (Williams' nephew) joined the company,
Alger Electric began to venture into the commercial wiring of service stations and phasing out from residential work.
In 1971, Robert H. Brooks Sr. , Emmett's son (Williams' great nephew) joined the company and broadened their expertise into the wiring of restaurants, office buildings, and warehouses. William built a strong foundation for Alger to thrive on and, in the summer of 1976, he passed away suddenly. Emmett took the reigns with Robert by his side and continued to operate the company as William wished - diversifying the company in many ways. In 1993, Robert H. Brooks Jr. , Robert's son (Williams' great great nephew) began working full time brininging to the company a desire to establish a sign and lighting division which he headed until his tragic death in 2002. This dealt the company a strong blow and, in 2007, Kristen B. Brooks , Robert's daughter (Williams' great great neice) came back to the company to strengthen its core. The next step was to come into the 21st century with LED signs and lighting. This was mastered and soon a new chapter began. In 2010, Emmett H. Brooks retired and happily passed the reigns to his son Robert H. Brooks as William would have wished. The rest is....or should we say...the best is yet to come!
Robert H. Brooks Jr. (Little Bob)
Bob Jr., a former Howard County Auxiliary Officer of the Year, died of accidental electrocution August 14, 2002 in Stanley, Virginia. He was 27. Bob was a master electrician with his family's business, Alger Electric. He had gone to Stanley to repair lights and signs in a shopping center owned by his grandfather, Emmett H. Brooks. Bob was fixing a sign with four lamps when reaching for the fourth lamp brushed his hand against the metal and was shocked. As Bob began to tremble, his grandfather asked him what was wrong, he then collapsed and died.
Bob loved to go to Stanley where his grandfather always owned property, he had just picked out a prime spot to build a cabin on his grandfather' s 88 acre property on the side of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
"Little Bob" was born September 9, 1974 at GBMC in Towson. Bob and his father spent many nights working on old cars at their Pikesville home. Bob's last purchase was a 1923 Ford T-bucket he found while seeking a truck he and his father were looking to restore next. After his death the truck was found and sits still on Alger Electric's property. Bob graduated from Pikesville High School and Western School of Technology in 1993.
Although Bob always had a desire to become a police
officer he would not turn his back on the family business,
as a fix, in 1996, he became a Howard County Auxillary
Officer and volunteered over 2000 hours. Prior to his
death in 2002 he received the Three Star Auxillary
Service Ribbon and, upon his death, he received a
30 car police escort for his funeral procession.
"We will always miss and love him,
each day we strive to be a little more like him"
