I am so upset to hear about Mr. Brock's passing. I was one of his students at Colonel White HS in Dayton, Ohio. He really took me under his wing and protected me (a fellow southner). I hope that he ejoyed his retirement and I know that he will be truly missed by all of us that he cared so much about.

I was the scool nurse at Colenel White High School when Mr. Brock was an assistant principal. He was always very helpful to me and he is the person who taught me to use the computer system to look up student information. I use the same system to this day.
I really hope he enjoyed his retirement in Tennessee!
