Terrence Kent Brock was the son of Kenneth Chaplin Brock (1913-1975) and Edna Cavanaugh (1913-2012).

Ken and Edna owned and operated a company that manufactured test benches for the aerospace industry.  They lived at 439 Andover Drive in Burbank, California, for many years.  Upon retirement, they built a beautiful new home at 2768 Sierra Vista Way in Bishop, California, moving there to pursue various outdoor activities.  Ken usually made one or two trips to Utah every year to go deer hunting.  Edna continued to live at the home in Bishop for many years after her husband's death.  They are both buried in West Line Cemetery in Bishop.

Terry's older sister is Gayle Montgomery, the wife of John Montgomery. 

In youth Terry especially enjoyed the games of croquet and badminton, and also various board games.  He collected stamps, particularly those of Bavaria.
 

OBITUARY

Terrence K. Brock (Terry) died of a heart attack on January 9th. He was an Air Force veteran during the Vietnam era and a highly intelligent software engineer who worked on significant projects such as the Hubble Telescope during his career. He was a generous man, helping those he wanted to get a leg up in life. 

In lieu of flowers, gifts, or cards his loving family asks that anyone who wants to please donate in his name to your local food bank or to the Wounded Warrior Project. Because of the pandemic there will not be a memorial at this time. His ashes will be spread as he wished at a future date.
