Robert G. “Bob” Bock, 72

November 27, 2024

Robert G. “Bob” Bock, 72, of Lancaster, died peacefully on Wednesday November 27, 2024. Born in Chambersburg, he was the son of the late Howard G. and Lois B. Shenk Bock. He proudly graduated from Shippensburg Senior High School, class of 1971. Bob married his high school sweetheart, Sandra Kay Powell Bock, and they observed 53 years of marriage this past August. Bob worked as an insurance agent for Washington National (now known as Transamerica) for 47 years where he helped many families plan for their future. Bob formerly attended Shippensburg United Methodist Church. As a Mason, he was a member of the Millersville Lodge, 476. He was also a member of the Widow Sons Motorcycle Club. He loved riding his Harley and was known as “The Chrominator.”

Bob had a larger than life personality and a heart of gold. He always found a way to make you laugh and smile. Bob had a passion for hunting, especially deer, and you would find him in the woods every year during rifle season. He also loved fishing and reloading. He was a handyman, and enjoyed making and fixing things when he found time. Bob could usually be found every morning at Sheetz drinking coffee with his friends. He was a true family man and loved spending any time he could with them, making memories that his family will cherish forever. Bob had a profound impact on the lives he touched and his absense leaves a deep void in our hearts.

Surviving in addition to his wife, is a daughter, Nikol Turner wife of Todd, granddaughter Abbie Kelly, and grandsons Jack and Ryan Turner. Preceding him in death was a brother Chris Bock.

A graveside service for Robert will be held on Thursday, December 12, 2024, at Spring Hill Cemetery, Shippensburg at 1:00 PM. Those desiring may send contributions in Bob’s memory to the Pet Pantry, 26 Millersville Road, Lancaster PA 17603.
