AL, WAS A WONDERFUL PERSON. I WAS ALWAYS AMAZED AT THE WAY HE WOULD PICK UP ANY INSECT OR SPIDER, BEING CAREFUL NOT TO HURT THEM. I WILL MISS SEEING THAT SOFT PART OF HIM.

Al, my brother, was an avid bird watcher and could identify almost
any bird he saw and would ask me "what was the name of the bird I just saw" and he would correct me if I didn't identify it properly. He loved the outdoors and loved working in Yosemite, Barrow, Alaska and the Sage Hen Fish Hatchery. He was a good teacher and I am sure his students appreciated being in his class. I will miss him a lot.

My Condolences to the Brock family. I attended Luther Burkank from 1973-1976. Mr. Brock was my Biology teacher and I worked as an assistant for him. Some teachers I will never forget and Mr. Brock was one of them. His kindness and knowledge made attending class enjoyable. I am grateful to have know him.

Elbert was a good brother to me. I will always remember his love of the outdoors. Since he had physical disabilities he was not able to fully enjoy the outdoors as I did. His compassion for the problems I endured when my family lost a loved one will always be remembered. I will miss him.
