Lawrence Ashley Bock, Angels in Heaven rejoice as Lawrence (Larry) Ashley Bock of Storrs, husband and best friend of Corey (Rice) Bock, passed away peacefully on Monday June 23, 2025. Larry was born on September 2, 1944 in Baltimore, MD, one of 2 children (sister Julie Callahan) of the late Alice and Ashley Bock. Larry graduated from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy where he sailed all 7 seas. He was an acoustic engineer for Pratt & Whitney for over 30 years before retiring to Middletown DE so he could pursue his lifelong love of sailing. His boat “Our Lady” was one of his great joys outside of his faith and his family. And family was Larry’s legacy, as he gave so much of himself to his 5 children—Andy Bock, Chelsea Doane, Joe Bock, Jon Bock, and Maegan Gosselin, along with their spouses, Amy Bock, Greg Doane, our beloved Paula Garcia, Candice Bock and Peter Gosselin. He counted 18 grandchildren, and 6 great grandchildren among his greatest treasures. And he was happy to know that most of them are lifelong Baltimore Orioles fans; LET’S GO O’s!
In lieu of flowers memorial contributions can be made to The Knights of Columbus St. Jude Council #4313. C/O Mark Gadzik, 478 Bunker Hill Rd, Coventry, CT 06238.
