ROBERT VOCK Obituary

VOCK--Robert D., passed away suddenly on Sunday, May 22, 2022 in Rye Brook, NY. His insatiable curiosity and zest for learning was also his greatest gift to friends and family alike. He made our lives richer and full of adventure and loved us all. He is survived by his wife of 64 years Susan, his sons Alex and Jeffrey, his daughters-in- law Donna and Wendy, his grandchildren Zoe, Elias, Noah and Otto, his nieces and nephews and many cousins. Our love for him will continue to flourish in all the stories we tell. Born in Paris, France on November 14, 1933, he survived the war as a "hidden child" in central France. He came to New York in 1951, graduated from both Dartmouth College and Harvard Law School, and was an officer in the US Army before enjoying a successful international legal career.
