Dear Kathy, Paul and family,

I am sorry for the passing of your dad/husband. I was fortunate to have met Dr. Schrock during the later years of his life. He was always quick to ask about my kids and their accomplishments. Family was important to him. I hope that time brings some peace.

Dottie, Jerry, Sally,Dan, Kathy and Margie,

I was very sorry to hear of Chris' passing. I spent a lot of time at your home. There were many wonderful days with Chris, Dottie, Dan and you all: popcorn on sunday nights, whiffle ball, football at the side yard, backetball in the back at 220 Lexington. Dottie drove us to basketball games in Jr. High. Your dad playing the organ. So many memories of all of you. I had a chance to talk to him a few years ago at 220 and it sort of took me back....like him talking to us about whatever subject and giving his views when we were growing up. I know his influence contributed to my desire to be successful in life.

He was a great man.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the Schrock family. My family always thought highly of Dr. Schrock and my parents were faithful patients of his. Growing up in the neighborhood and enjoying some fun times at the house with Kathy and friends when I was young; I always admired him and the dedicated physician, father and friend he was to so many people. I'm sure he will be missed deeply and fondly remembered by all. I too can remember the twinkle in his eye when he smiled. Blessings and comfort to you all. Patty

i was very sorry to hear of the death of Chris. he was a good friend and will be sorely missed by a great many people. Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss.

We were sorry to hear of Dr. Schrock's passing.He was a good friend to my mom and a great man to work for/with. She thought so very highly of him. He was a good listener and my mom sought his advice often over the years.

My memories of Dr. Schrock go back many, many years to the days of the office when it was downtown. I remember office gatherings at Dr. Schrock and Dotties house. I always think of him with a smile and a twinkle in his eye. He was so very "approachable" and always spared time to talk and listen.

Dr. Schrock will be remembered by so many people and , as I have discovered in the year since my moms death, will remain in his familys heart forever.

Ibecame Dr. Schrock's patient while I was in college. He was my physician for many years following my location in Cedar Rapids. He was a wonderful physician and always provided excellent care and attention in every respect. Our friendship was built around mutual interests of tennis, bridge, and music. His memory will forever remain in my heart. I extend my sympathy to his family.

Dottie and All the Schrock family -- Please accept our deepest condolences. We, too, feel the pain of his being gone. But we have so many wonderful memories of tennis trips, our "bridge club", and dinners together -- these things cannot be taken from us!

Our love and prayers go out to all of you.

Chris was my first doctor in Iowa City. My children's pediatrician decided that I needed a doctor. She chose Chris because she thought he and I would be compatible. We were. Without his diligent and thoughtful care over a period of more than 30 years, I doubt that I would be alive to today in my 80th year. Chris was a great doctor, citizen and person. It is a distinct privilege to have known him. Fondly, Rudy Schulz

Dearest Schrock Family,

Dottie,

Please accept our sincere condolences on Chris's passing. He was a wonderful physician, colleague, patient, mentor and friend. I always enjoyed talking with Chris, whether it be about medicine, skiing, travel or any other subject.

As a young nurse I was in awe of Dr. Schrock. You could set your watch by when he stepped off the elevator at Mercy to begin making early morning rounds (and he was always so dapper). He was an excellent physician and his patients (and the nurses) loved him. I feel priviledged to have worked with him and his patients. It is funny how life comes full circle sometimes. My daughter just married Dr. Schrock's great nephew, Todd, and we have enjoyed many good times with, Margie, Todd's grandmother and Dr. Schrock's sister.

We are so sorry to hear about Christian. Seems like he lived a full life. We are sure your family has many wonderful memories of him. At times like this the Bible comforts me so much. Jesus said in John 5:28&29 there would come a time when those in the memorial tombs would hear his voice and come out. This would also be at a time when Revelation 21:3&4 says there will be no more tears, pain or death. This would all happen when God's Kingdom comes, the same kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for in the Lord's Prayer. What a wonderful prospect for Christian and all those in the memorial tombs now. We express our deepest sympathy. We hope you find comfort in this time of loss.

Dottie, I am thinking of you at this difficult time and remembering you and Chris fondly. Many years have passed but Iowa City still has a claim on my heart. I wish you well. Marjie

we lived in the same area of iowa city,I went to Lincoln School with his kids,my folks thought he was a great person and a great Dr, So sorry for your lose

Dr. Schrock was my first boss, theoretically standing right behind my "real" boss--my mother and IM office manager, Maxine Thornton. I cleaned test tubes for my after-school job during high school and she was always much harder on me, meaning Dr. Schrock really didn't have to be a boss at all. I mostly remember him with a smile on his face as he poked his head through her office door to tell her something or ask a question. This was in the mid-60s at the downtown office on Capital St. In 1969, when Internal Medicine moved to Towncrest, I still worked in the lab and during college, I cleaned that big office to make some extra money. Dr. Schrock was also my doctor for years. I will always remember him as both imposing and kindly; as an authority in my early life and a bit of a father figure. My mother adored him in the most respectful way and I know it was mutual. They had a long, productive working relationship that could serve as a model for all. We lost my Mom 18 months ago. She would want me to convey these thoughts and memories of her friend and our boss.

I will miss you, Dr! I will cherish the time I was with you in your home. Am happy I got to know you and your family. Your love for your wife, how proud you always were of your children, and no matter what how your humor always showed no matter what the situation was. Youve made an impact on the "Schrock girls" and Im so happy your a young man again!

Kathy, Margie, Dan, Sally, and Jerry: I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. He was such a great person. I can picture him right now hitting tennis balls against the garage wall. And I can still see him smile and hear him laugh. I have a million wonderful memories of the MANY hours I spent in your home. I know he's in a better place now but it doesn't make your loss any easier. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Julie

May God's grace be with you all at this time. I had a great time being one of your dad's caregivers. He knew a lot of folks that I did and we often talked about them and things of the pasted. We talked often about the turkeys my dad raised for Maplecrest and company of the pass and so he often would call be a 'turkey' your mom would say that wasn't nice and then he would have that little ornery grin, he was a great person. Thank you and god bless

We will miss the friendship of Chris. He was a true friend. It was always a pleasue to go out to dinner and visit with him. We have many fond memories, as I am sure his family does also. May he now rest in peace.
