<blockquote>The passing of Eric Brock represents a loss not just to his family and to the community but to the larger world and the body of knowledge of Louisiana history. Many academic scholars cannot match the volume of work and information that Eric was able to produce, relating information about the people, places and things that define who we are and where we have been. He was wise beyond his years. He had the innate capacity to link things and people and places that most of us might overlook. He was a superb researcher, an excellent writer, and a wonderful chronicler."<ref name=findgrave>{{cite web|url=http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=81273428|title=Eric John Brock|publisher=findagrave.com|accessdate=May 18, 2012}}</ref></blockquote>

John Andrew Prime of the ''Shreveport Times'' described Brock, accordingly, "witty and urbane, a meticulous researcher and a bon vivant, he was a frequent contributor to area newspapers and magazines and also collected a vast amount of material, much of it primary, on Shreveport, Caddo Parish and the surrounding area, particularly the period from the [[American Civil War|Civil War]] to around [[World War I]]."<ref name=findgrave/>
