Donald L. Schrock, age 80, passed away on Sunday, December 10, 2023 after a very long and difficult struggle. He was born on December 23, 1942 in Columbus, Ohio to the late Robert and Isabel (Wightman) Schrock.
Don was a graduate of Eastmoor High School. After high school he served as a medic in the US army before attending The Ohio State University where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree. Don loved to drive his VW Beetle and while attending college he worked as a driving instructor to pay his tuition. After graduation he taught middle school science in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania for a short time before becoming an IT professional for over 50 years. Don worked for and retired from Columbia Gas before working as an IT consultant. He then worked for and retired from IBM, subsequently working again as a consultant until his health began to decline.
A dedicated husband, father, and Buckeye fan, Don enjoyed coaching and watching his two sons play many sports as well as taking them to a multitude of Buckeye games as they grew up. He was a quiet man of few words with a dry sense of humor and quick wit. As an avid fan of music (especially Rock & Roll and Jazz), literature and movies, Don amassed an impressive collection of records and books over the years. He also loved collecting sports memorabilia and was a frequent garage sale shopper.
Don will be greatly missed by his wife, Judy; sons, Robert (Claudine) and Matt; grandchildren, Cole, Sawyer and Rhys; siblings, Dick (Sharon) and Ann (Joe) Aquilio; nieces, Richelle, Melissa, and Susan and nephew, Mark.
