I would like to extend my condolences to Dr. Brock’s family. I was truly saddened to learn he was gone. He was a pleasure to work with on his visits to Nisqually Valley Care Center and his knowledge and understanding of his patients was invaluable. He will be remembered.

Lesley and Family,
We just heard about the loss of Lee and find it so hard to believe. It seems like just yesterday our kids were playing on the swings in your back yard during our residency training. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the Brock family. I am so sorry for your loss. I met him in 1986. I was a brand new Rn and had no clue what I was suppose to do. He came along and helped me. He was there when you needed him and he was there even if you didn't need him. He had such a wonderful sense of humor and was good with the patients. I shall truly miss him. It is a great loss to all of us.

To the Brock family, I am truly sorry for your loss. Dr. Brock was a caring, good humored, all around great guy to work with. I will miss him and shall always remember his "rebellious" use of blue roller ball ink on his orders!

"Doc" and JoAnn rode horseback together at Bolender Horse Park in Silver Creek. Lee was special to both of us. He took JoAnn on her first outside trail ride at Bolender's a while back. Last years National Trail Challange in Eugene was memorable to say the least. We'll miss him.

My condolences to his family. I knew Dr. Brock as a dedicated professional. He was always ready with a kind words and a wry sense of humor. A really intelligent person who was approachable and caring.

Lee was a hero to me . I remember going into a place with him where a fellow was armed with a samauri sword, and me and Lee were there to talk to him and see if we could help him. He was a great guy and helped a lot of people out that were on the fringes. I'm proud to count him as a friend. My condolances to the family. I'll miss him.
