Robert W. Glock

Robert W. Glock, retired associate vice chancellor of UC Davis, died Nov. 12, 2000, at his home in El Macero. He was 83.

He was well-known to the community, having served as a member of the Davis Chamber of Commerce and as president of the Davis Rotary Club at times during his 20 years with UCD. He was the university's chief of budget operations until his retirement in 1986.

He was born in Webster, Wis., on Aug. 14, 1917, to Theodore and Helen Glock. He grew up in Minneapolis and worked his way through the University of Minnesota, graduating with a bachelor's degree, and quickly entering military service in World War II.

He served in the U.S. Army from 1941 to 1965 at stations in Heidelberg, Germany; Cairo, Egypt; Shanghai, China; and the Panama Canal zone. At the time of his retirement, Col. Glock was chief of the central finance and accounting office for all U.S. military operations in Europe and the Middle East.

After retiring from the Army, he returned to college at UC Los Angeles, where he earned an MBA. He was hired in 1966 at UCD, where his business, management and accounting skills were quickly realized by then-Chancellor Emil Mrak.

Second only to UCD was his dedication to El Macero Country Club, to which he dedicated years of financial advisory service. He was president of the board of directors in 1975. At one time during that period, when the club was without a manager, he put aside his regular affairs and assumed temporary full management duties there. For the past 10 years, he served as chairman of the board's finance committee.

His many other civic duties included service on the El Macero Advisory Committee to the Yolo County Board of Supervisors.

He was a dedicated golfer whose fascination with the game continued unabated until his illness about five months ago. His playing group was so regular that it was commonly referred to as "the Bob Glock foursome."

He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Miriam Glock. They were married during WWII, in 1942. He is also survived by his brother, William A. Glock of Hot Springs, Ark.

A memorial service will begin at 2 p.m. Friday at the Davis Lutheran Church, 317 E. Eighth St. Burial will be private at the Davis Cemetery.
