John I really appreciate you and your amazing eternal support for what I chose to do at the moment in my life. Starting with my early life career at Harris department store and remembered you coming in with your friendly hello and always letting me know "don't let the bad guys win". With the transition from Harris and Gottschalks was difficult for me you again would reassure me that I was doing right by my customer service standards, You taught me alot about myself that I never knew I about...

So very sad to hear this news about John Junior. I so enjoyed working for the Brox at the store and continuing a relationship with John Junior after I went on to manage other men´s stores later in the years. He was such a great guy, terrific, help, And an all-around wonderful person! Very sad! Dan W Duke

John was a fellow Stanford alumnus and friend of mine for decades. He was a terrific guy. I am very sorry for his family's loss.

John was a dignified and true gentleman !! He had a certain regal quality that distinguished him, yet he didn't think he was better than others. That's what I'll remember most about him. God Bless his soul !!

No better person than John Brock. We grew up together and shared many great times. Many on the golf course as his Dad was a member of BCC, where my Dad was the golf professional. Dad used to refer to John Jr. as "1-iron" due to his slender build. The Brock family was prominent in the ultimate growth of the B-field community in many ways. Brock's department store reigned supreme in those days and was managed so well by John Sr. and Jr. Great place to shop. So many departments. Loved the...

Ginette, My condolence on your loss. John was a special person as you knew so well. Following my retirement, John never hesitated to give me a wave as he left Starbucks in the Marketplace on his way to work. That wave and his smile said it all. My prayers for you. Msgr. Mike Braun

Ginette and Family, This loss is HUGE, what amazing man he was and what gifts he will leave behind... I never saw John without a beautiful smile and awaiting open arms for a great big hug. This loss hits hard, there are only a few good men left that will be able to fill his shoes and for that, my heart breaks for each of you. May God give you each, peace and understanding as to why, he had to leave so soon. Prayers and Love
