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 until their deaths

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

Terry graduated from Burbank High School, Burbank, California, in 1963. Terry is survived by his older sister Gayle Montgomery, the wife of John Montgomery.

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.
