Learned of Mr Brock's death today and I am genuinely saddened. He was such a lovely and dear man. I bought my first good stereo from him back in 1979. Then 34 years later when I finally needed an upgrade, I was blessed to be able to locate him and work with him earlier this year on a new audio/video project in my home. He was a such a delight to work with. So professional…..such integrity……so brilliant in his field……a real class act! Whatever I could dream up, he had the answer! I will miss him so much. Sincere and heartfelt condolences to family and close friends. Heaven's choir has a new sound man!!!

When Robt. was a very young child, he loved to play in the back yard. A neighbor had a parrot (McCaw) that had learned Robert's name and loved to use it. When the bird said "Robert", the very, very young Robert went running to see why his mother was calling him. A very special person!! --- your aunt Audra

Robert, you will surely be missed at FUMC. The expertise you brought to our sound enhanced our services and brought so many people closer to a moving experience with Christ. A mere thank you is not enough for your countless hours of service. We will be praying for Michael and your family. Heaven is rejoicing!

Robert was a great friend and will be missed. The heavens will now be filled with enjoyable sounds and Robert will be right there. He will make sure that the heavens will have the best sounding organ pipes around. Steven & Tanya McGuirt "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."" Psalm 91
