Bock was born in Crawford County, Missouri just outside the small town of Bourbon on December 25, 1930. He worked for three years in construction work before joining the U.S. Navy being assigned to many projects throughout the Pacific Ocean area. He attained the pay grade of E-9 (Masterchief Construction Man) in 1986 and retired form the Navy in 1972.
After his Navy experience, he and his family moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where he became a self employed “Construction Quality Consultant” and associated with the Veteran’s Administration as a new home building inspector. His construction career did not prepare him for his new “Tour of Duty” as a primary, at-home, caregiver for an Alzheimer’s disease patient.
His book, Finding Joy in Adversity: The Alzheimer’s Challenge, is a narrative of his personal experience with finding that joy. His searching “Tour of Duty” lasted from 1984 to 1999.
Carl still resides in the Phoenix area.view less
