The John C. Bock Foundation is organized and operated for the preservation, maintenance and enhancement of land areas in their natural or undeveloped state that support woodlands and old-growth forests, principally those proximate to Lake Mendota ,Wisconsin , and generally in the state of Wisconsin.

John C Bock graduated from Northland College in Ashland , WI ; John started his full time employment at Bock Water Heaters in 1963. John was Chief Engineer in charge of R&D.

In 1990, after his brother Robert retired, John took over as Company President/CEO. John, like his father, Oscar Bock, was an inventor. He was always looking for new water heater designs and ways to improve on the patented Turboflue-Bock's claim to fame. In his career, he developed several new models and was directly involved in building the Turboflue machines.

His contributions continue to make Bock a leader in the water heater industry.

John touched many lives with his warm smile and love for life. He had a way of empowering people. His love for his employees was reciprocated by the longevity of many.
