It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gregory L. Bock, of Stratford, CT, who died this week at the age of 76. Gregory was born in Syracuse, NY to the late John and JoAnn Bock. A graduate of Fairfield University, he also had previously attended Bucknell and Syracuse Universities. He was an army veteran, having served during the Vietnam War. Gregory's long working career was as an auditor for several companies, including the Southern Connecticut Gas Company for over 30 years, and then later for Aetna and Pitney Bowes. Greg was a past member of the Germania Schwaben Club, Fayerweather Yacht Club, and the Elks. He was an avid card player and could be found playing pinochle most Monday nights at Fayerweather with his fraternal brother, Andrew Cross, and other great friends. He was a long-time fanatic about playing APBA Football weekly with his close friend, Charlie (Chaz) Schultz. On fall and winter Sundays, Greg was always rooting for his beloved New York Football Giants. A curious person at heart, he enjoyed reading numerous history books at home and while on vacation.
Gregory will be deeply missed by all his family and friends. Survivors include his beloved wife, Joanne (Ferreira) Bock, his devoted son, Christopher Bock and his wife, Tiffany and cherished granddaughter Evelyn, his sister Gail Garlinghouse and her husband Roland "Dugan", his brother John Bock and his wife, Mary and several nephews.
