This was my brother John's house on Bock Road, where he died in the bedroom above the front door from a massive heart attack.

I move away in the early 80s to the San Francisco Bay Area I used to visit their home quite often. Charles, John, Monica and Edward were always kind to me. I recall a time visiting from California. John had just bought a house on Bock Road. It was an old house, however it was a very cool house. I remember John, Monica and I were driving in a residential neighborhood John was driving too fast and I mentioned to him that Harvey homeowner not gonna like it too much speeding around. They laughed at me. John thought I was gonna say, Harvey Wallberger. He mentioned to me that he enjoyed his job working as a clerk for a electrical supply store. John, Monica and I spent a day clearing out shrubbery in the backyard at Edward's house. I came home with poison ivy. My condolences to his surviving family. Tim Davis
