Claude H. Pocock Birth 27 May 1908 Hudson, Lenawee County, Michigan, USA Death 29 Sep 2007 (aged 99) Sedro-Woolley, Skagit County, Washington, USA Burial Bow Cemetery Bow, Skagit County, Washington, USA Memorial ID 95382717

Claude H. Pocock, age 99, a resident of Burlington, died Saturday, September 29, 2007 at Lifecare Center of Skagit Valley in Sedro-Woolley.

Claude was born May 27, 1908 at Hudson, Michigan. He was a son of Clarence & Florence (Easterday) Pocock.

Two years ago I asked my dad to tell me, David, his son, about his life. The following is how he described his life to me:

"I suppose when you live ten decades, 100 years, a century, you have seen and done just about everything. I experienced my first car ride in a Model T Ford at the age of 7. I thanked him for the buggy ride. My dad bought his first car when I was 13. At the age of fourteen I was horseback riding on a prairie in Montana looking for little doggies and making 2-bits a day with a bunk, cornbread, beans, meat and hardtack provided. I had to furnish my horse and saddle.

My dad, Clarence, gave up the homestead and we moved back to Washington where jobs in the logging camps in the 20's and 30's were plentiful. In the early 40's I worked in a steel plant. Then in the late 40's and 50's America's last frontier, Alaska, had opportunities in the fish canneries. I worked there before it became a state. By the mid 50's I was working again at Skagit Steel and Iron Works and then Bendix until my retirement.

I enjoyed raising a family and sharing experiences. I loved the children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. I was blessed to live long enough to know four generations of my family.

I have passed through two great wars and many small ones, through times during the Depression, watched two Americans leave this earth and land on the moon and return. I have seen technological advances in areas I never thought would happen.

It was a long ride and a joyful one. So again, thanks for the "buggy ride." Hope to see you at the next stop."

Last summer I, David, took my dad, Claude, for our last ride around the county. When we returned to Life Care and were heading back to his room his reply was, "thanks for the buggy ride."

Claude was a member of the Moose and the Machinists Union of Seattle.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Florence Pocock; two daughters and a son-in-law, Barbara and Eugene Schimke, of Bow and Kay Wiles, of Sedro-Woolley; three brothers, Raymond and Walter Pocock, of Bow and Clifford Pocock, of Seattle; and a stepson, Vernon Anderson, of Burlington.

Survivors include his wife, Helen, of Burlington; a son, David Pocock (RuthAnne), of Burlington; stepdaughter-in-law, Iku Butler (Jim), of Marysville; sister, Bessy Jensen, of Tucson, AZ; his grandchildren, Ken Schimke (Jackie), of Burlington, Richard Schimke (Collette), of Bow, Diz Schimke (Vicky), of Bow, Crystal Schmike, of Alger, Carl Wiles (Kristie), of Burlington, Kathy Wiles, of Bellingham, David Wiles, of Bellingham, Kevin Peterson, of Sedro-Woolley, Craig Anderson (Carrie), of Everett, Evan Anderson (Debbie), of Arlington, Ian Pocock (Shalyce), of Bow, Susan Anderson Gunsolas (Jim), of Bellingham, Terri Anderson, of Spokane, Toni Spoelstra (Robert), of the Netherlands; 21 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren.

Visitation will be held Wednesday, October 3, 2007 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Thursday, October 4, 2007 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Hulbush Funeral Home, Burlington. Graveside services will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 4, 2007 at Bow Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Soroptimist International of Burlington, P.O. Box 362, 98233, or Skagit Audubon Society, P.O. Box 1101, Mount Vernon, WA, 98273.
