Debbie and Jimmy I'm so sorry for your loss. Your father was a second father to every young man who had the honor to wear the striped jerseys at Forest Hill. We never wanted to disappoint him in any way. I am positive that he now sits on the first seat of the bench and is coaching heaven's team with one foot propped on a basketball. Your dad was a great man.

What an honor to have known such a wonderful person and neighbor. He was a special friend to my Daddy and Mama even raising his children on property that was purchased from my parents. This is definitely one COACH, neighbor and friend that will be missed by many. Rest in Peace, Coach Brock, and you and Miss Mildred have met again.
