CARL C. BROCK
April 3, 1917 ~ October 2, 2013
An honored father, grandfather and great-grandfather. A loyal friend and husband. A fisherman, gentleman gardener, craftsman, and a pinochle player to be revered. That was Carl C. Brock.
Born in Morristown, Tennessee, Carl was one of 10 children and raised on a large farm.
A World War II Army veteran, Carl served from 1941-1945, partly in the Aleutians Islands in Alaska.
After the war, he revisited Tennessee and then moved to Vancouver, Washington, where he'd met his wife, Mary Rose Carmichael.
Carl worked nearly two decades as a machinist at Columbia Machines in Vancouver, Washington, specializing as a metal sawyer.
After retirement, he remained busy as a handyman and gardener, but most of his focus was his family and friends.
Carl raised four daughters who have survived him: Carolyn Louise Deming, Linda Michele Brock, Rosemarie Ann Ricker and Mary Kathleen "Kathy" Brock. He also had four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by five of his siblings, his wife, and grandson, Gary Luke Jr.

Carl C. Brock, 96, passed peacefully October 2, 2013. He was an honored father, grandfather and great-grandfather. A loyal friend and husband, fisherman, gentleman, gardener, craftsman and pinochle player to be revered.
Disciplined activity - accomplishing something every day - was Carl's motto. Every year he raised a huge vegetable garden and seasonally fished. He loved carpentry work and continued to build tables and maintain a multi-acre homestead until this spring, when he officially "retired", as he put it. He continued to garden, play bingo and participate in group activities.
One thing Carl never retied from was playing pinochle at every opportunity, whether at a family gathering, the Battle Ground Senior Center in Battle Ground Washington or at Mallard Landing. If there's pinochle gaming in heaven, he'll be there. And, according to anyone who knows him, it's a good bet that he'll be winning.
