Roy was described as a great and caring lawyer and as an honorable man at the funeral service. This certainly describes the Roy Brock I had dozens of cases with (against) over many years. He was an exemplary member of a great profession, and it is people like him that make us proud to be a lawyer.
My deepest condolences to the family.

I met your father in the mid 70's. I worked at National Bank of Commerce and met your father at the Red Carpet along with other lawyers and judges. He helped me once with a legal problem. He was well respected and very much liked.
May your memories comfort you in your time of loss.

We are going to miss Mr. Brock so much. Your father was the best attorney I had the honor of working with. Dusty and I are so saddened by his passing, but we both know he's with our Lord and enjoying life again.
