Robert F. "Bubs" Bock Obituary (1924

Born in Seattle Washington. Graduate of Ballard High Class of 1943. Following graduation he joined the Navy and was on the USS Missouri for the signing of the WWII peace treaty. After his Navy service he returned to Washington State and started his family. He married Marjery Montgomery and they had two children, Susan and Chris. He valued being a scout team leader and baseball coach for the youth and he himself played baseball in the "Men Over 50 League". He was a graphic designer and worked 50+ years in the industry. He was an extremely talented watercolorist and got great pleasure from traveling capturing the beauty of what he saw onto canvas. He was preceded in death by his wife of 42 years, but was blessed with the love of his sweetheart Marlene Bock. He and Marlene moved to Hansville in 1991 and began their lives together with their blended family. Initially he semi-retired from his graphic design company but was still doing some work from his home studio. He loved living in the Hansville area and referring to it as "a little slice of heaven". He was active in the Driftwood Key community from serving on the Board, on committees, to creating an interpretive display of the Olympic Mountains' for locals. He treasured the many friends they made in their community. They had many RV'ing adventures with a group of friends logging 1000's of miles and making lasting relationships and memories along those trails. He was a crabber and shrimper and felt great joy on the water. He and several other men in the neighborhood met in his workshop and made wooden boats each Christmas for their grandchildren. He was a lifetime member of Masonic Lodge Occidental #72, Scottish Rite and Nile Shrine Temple. He was a man of service, integrity and honor and will live forever in the fond memories he has left for his family and friends. He is survived by his wife Marlene, children Chris and Susan, step-children and many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family and many dear friends.
