John Massey, Eddie and families; Our thoughts and prayers go out to you. In the short time I worked for John Massey Jr., I got to know Mr. Brock. He was the quintessential gentleman farmer. I have missed his stories. He was a wonderful and kind man. He will be missed by all who knew him.

I remember Mr. Brock as a purser for the Jamestown/Scotland Ferry System, when I worked there in past years. Also I remember him from Bacon's Castle Baptist Church, when my Dad, Rev. Alfred Duncan,Sr would preach there. My thoughts & prayers are with the family. God bless all of you during this time.

Eddie and Darlene,
My condolences across the miles to both of you and your families. I always knew I would be smiling when in Mr. Brock's presence because of his humerous and kind personality. I'm glad I had a chance to experience this, if only a few times, over the years.
