In August of 1969, he was united in marriage to Sharon Sue Warren and in August of 2019 they celebrated their 50 ^th wedding anniversary. Chock attended the Shell Knob Church of Christ, worked for Empire Gas, was a charter member of the Shell Knob Lions Club, a commissioner for the Shell Knob Road district, served on the Shell Knob School board and drove for the district for twenty-nine years where he touched so many lives and was loved by so many.

Chock loved Shell Knob and being a native to the area he knew many people and was a friend to all, but most important to him was being a good husband, father, and grandfather. He will be missed by all who knew him and many fond memories of Chock will live on.
