Samuel Brock

1924 - December 1, 2024

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Samuel Brock on Sunday, December 1, 2024, at the age of 100. Known to many as the proprietor of Brock’s Billiards on Spadina, Sam left a lasting legacy in the Spadina ghetto, where he was a beloved figure for decades.

Sam’s contributions to his community were matched by his sharp wit, warm heart, and a life filled with service to his family and country. The stories of Sam’s pool hall, his generosity, and his infectious spirit will be fondly remembered by all who knew him. As Sam would say, “Keep the two bucks. It’s on me.”

Arrangements have been entrusted to Benjamin’s Park Memorial Chapel. Memorial details can be found at Samuel Brock's obituary page.
