Rex Hammock, 83, loving father, grandfather, and friend, passed away on March 8, 2017, after a long hospital stay.
Born on May 27, 1933, in Long Beach, Rex spent the majority of his youth in San Diego.

He later earned a Master’s Degree from Shippensburg State in Pennsylvania.
The joy of his professional life came in the 24 years Rex spent as a fighter pilot, “the greatest job in the world,” in the United States Air Force. Most of his time was spent flying the F-100 Super Sabre and the F-4. His many career highlights include: flying 100 missions over North Vietnam during the Vietnam War in which he earned the Silver Star for “gallantry in action against the enemy;” graduating from the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, PA (1972); living abroad as U.S. Air Force Attaché to the Republic of Iran; serving as Director of Operations for the F-4 Wing at Luke A.F.B; and molding young men and women as Professor of Aerospace Studies and Commander of the AFROTC at Arizona State University (1977 – 1980). He was a proud member of The Super Sabre Society, The Order of Daedalians, Command Bar Stool Association, and the Military Officers Association of America.
Following his Air Force retirement in 1980, Rex spent 20+ years in various management and leadership roles, ultimately retiring “for good” as Director, Motor Vehicles Division, for the Arizona Department of Transportation.
Rex was a 40-year resident of Litchfield Park, AZ, and spent the final year of his life near his family in Encinitas, CA.
What he loved most were his family and friends, flying, playing golf, sports of all kinds, and his Catholic faith.
Rex is survived by his son Steve (Maureen) of Encinitas, CA, his Aunt Charlotte Webster of National City, CA, his “oldest and dearest friend” of 73 years, Chuck Freebern of Del Mar, CA, and his eight grandchildren – Mick, Maggie, Rebecca, Rex, Kat, Phillip, Kelsey, and Bennett. He was preceded in death by sons Phillip (1978) and Kevin (2013), and his wife of 40 years, Sharon (2015).

Paul Phillip Hammock
M, #11306, b. 28 July 1911, d. 12 September 2005
Last Edited=16 Apr 2025
Paul Phillip Hammock was born on 28 July 1911 at Carthage, Madison Co., Missouri.1 He married Hettie Iola Voorhies, daughter of Rex Clifford Voorhies and Pearl S. Driehaus, in 1931. Paul Phillip Hammock died on 12 September 2005 at Litchfield Park, Maricopa Co., Arizona, at age 94.1
CPO Paul Phillip Hammock
CPO, Paul Phillip Hammock, USN Ret. of Litchfield Park, passed away peacefully in the early morning of September 12, 2005 at age 94. He was born in Carthage, Missouri to Virgil and Cora Hammock on July 28, 1911. He moved often as a boy following his father who worked on the railroad, was a mechanic and a carpenter. Paul worked at many part time jobs during school helping to support his family who finally settled in Southern California. In 1927, at age 16, Paul enlisted in the US Navy, a decision he never regretted. He spent his seventeenth birthday in Shanghai China while serving in the Asiatic Fleet. In 1931, he met and married Hettie Voorhies and they had one son, Rex. In 1941, Paul was stationed aboard the U.S.S. Astoria, home ported in Pearl Harbor. The ship left the harbor on December 6, 1941, thus escaping the attack by the Japanese on December 7. The Astoria later was sunk on August 2, 1942 off Guadalcanal in the battle of Savo Island. Paul was not injured, but spent eight hours in the water in the dark with the sharks until rescued by the U.S.S. Wilson. 400 of his shipmates died. At the time of death, he was the oldest, living survivor of that event. Paul retired from the Navy in 1947 then served two more years (51, 52) during the Korean War. He then opened and operated a very successful auto parts business for 15 years. He moved back to California in 1968 and opened a cable (wire rope) business with his brother, Clarence. They built the business for thirteen years then sold it and Paul retired at age 70. Paul moved to Litchfield Park in 1988 to be near his son. He was an avid golfer and played well into his 80s until failing mobility forced him to give it up.---He remained a fan the rest of his life. Paul volunteered for many years at the Arizona Humane Society and in 1998 was named "Star Volunteer of the Year." He was also a life member of the Navy League. Paul is survived by his son, Col. Paul Rex Hammock, USAF Ret; daughter-in-law, Sharon; sisters-in-law, Charlotte Webster and Marie Hammock; grandsons, Steven (Maureen) and Kevin (Susan); eight great-grandchildren, Phillip, Mick, Kelsey, Maggie, Bennett, Rebecca, Rex and Kathleen; and many nieces and nephews. Paul was predeceased by his wife, Hettie, his parents, brothers, Clarence and Virgil, and a grandson, Phillip. Paul lived a long and productive life with many accomplishments, but he was most proud of his service to his country in the United States Navy. A Memorial Service will be held at 10:30 a.m., September 16, 2005 at Skyway Church of the West Valley, 14900 W. Van Buren St. in Goodyear, Arizona 85338. Burial will be at Greenwood Cemetery in San Diego, California. In lieu of flowers, a donation in Paul's memory may be made to Skyway Church of the West Valley, 14900 W.

She married Jeremy Nestaval Gale, son of Samuel Chester Gale and Stella Barbara Nestaval, on 17 December 1954 at Hennepin Co., Minnesota.

Joan Louise Hancock Campbell
JOAN LOUISE HANCOCK CAMPBELL, of Little Rock, was greeted in heaven on Tuesday, June 9, 2015 by her beloved dogs, Magoo, Pepper, Rodney, and Schwartz and was joined by her parents and brother as they watched her first dance in perfect time and rhythm across the heavenly clouds with her forever adored hoofer, Gene Kelly. She was 80. Born July 2, 1934 in Minneapolis to John and Ernestine Hancock, she attended Saint Louis Park High School and became the school's first female president of the Student Council. She avidly swam the surrounding lakes to earn numerous AAU swimming titles, among them were Junior National Swim Meet, the Midwest AAU breast stroke, a two-time winner of the 3-mile swim at Lake Pepin, the 3-mile Aquatennial swim, and the 1-mile Aqua swim. During the summer prior to her attendance at the University of Minnesota, she was coached by the U.S. Olympic swimming coach. In 1954, during her sophomore year at Minnesota, she tap danced her way toward earning the title of Miss Minneapolis and later that year finished up as Runner-Up to Miss Minnesota. She carried throughout her lifetime a deep affection and unwavering devotion to her Pi Beta Phi sorority, proudly belting out its song if ever asked if she was one and forging friendships that lasted a lifetime.
Her amassed achievements, emerging talents, and graceful beauty launched her to become a cheerleader for the George Mikan-led Minneapolis Lakers. She also was the nanny to Hollywood movie actor, Sterling Hayden. She met her husband, Dr. Gilbert Sadler Campbell in San Francisco while she was working for the upscale department store I.Magnin. They later married on Sept. 28, 1961 in Oklahoma City.
After moving to Little Rock in 1965, she lovingly raised her husband's four teenagers, each of them importing their unique set of challenges for her to contend with, while simultaneously rearing her own newborn daughter and son. Her boundless passion for dance and exercise was instrumental in bringing aerobics to Arkansas. Her prevailing spirit was for everyone to stay active and to keep moving, no matter how young or how old. She taught tap dancing to both kids and adults, and regularly volunteered at Lifequest to educate her students on the value of aerobic activity. Never shy to take a stage, no matter its formality or lack thereof, she performed as the "Wicked Witch" in the local Children's Theater production of The Wizard of Oz, evoking reviews of "she's a natural" and awarding her as "Best Actress" for that year.
Among her close friends and neighbors, she was affectionately called "Bonie Joanie", given her lithe, athletic figure. She was constantly ordered to sit down by company but obstinately elected to stay standing, playfully smiling and commonly remarking, "You know me, I never sit."
During her 46 years in their neighborhood, she imparted wonderful treasured memories to those throughout. Her fetish for theater and drama overtook their home's foyer each and every Halloween, converting it into a scary set decorated with an actual human skull (aka TJ), TJ's blood (red Kool-Aid) and her long-living 21 year-old Persian cat, Black Magic. She had an especially gifted hand at training each of her dogs, perfectly conducting them as they performed a range of tricks and enthusiastically coaxing them as they attempted to bark out their flickering birthday candles atop their favorite hamburger treats. She had an unfailing ability to make a call or send a card on everyone's birthday and anniversary, and a remarkable manner of empathetically recounting a friend's personal memory of loss or misfortune. Her love of plants and flowers was throughout and around her family's home. She was a long-standing member of the Country Homes and Garden Club of Little Rock.
As far reaching were her interests, so too was her unquenchable thirst for staying current on all them: politics, investments, cooking, literature, music, arts and community affairs. She forever maintained a strong belief in fulfilling her civic responsibility and tirelessly advocated for issues when others would not; singlehandedly spearheading the construction of a traffic light at her street's intersection to make everyone's daily driving safer. Her greatest fascination was nurturing and following all of her grandchildrens' activities, both near and far, from the early years to the present day. She derived great pride and joy in seeing them all grow into intelligent, handsome, talented, caring young men.
She instilled innumerable qualities that affected everyone she touched in immeasurable ways. Her one-of-a-kind character and her compassionate spirit will be sorely missed, fondly remembered, and treasured by all.
The family would like to thank her physicians: Dr. Ron Robertson, Dr. Katie Kimbrough, and Dr. Tamayo; caregiver, Pam Willis Black; and her over 40 year-long housekeeper and extended family member, Ruby Jones. The family thanks all those who have had her in their thoughts and prayers during this difficult loss.
She is survived by her husband, Dr. Gilbert Sadler Campbell; daughter, son-in-law and grandson: Muffin, Bobby, and Miles Smith of Little Rock; son, daughter-in-law, and three grandsons: John, Viola, Patrick, Henry, and Andrew Campbell of Charlottesville, Va; and four stepchildren: Kathy Campbell (Peter) and Rebecca Sadler of Ashland, Ore; Tom Campbell (Jane) of Friday Harbor, Wash., and William Campbell (Julie) of Oklahoma City. Joan was also survived by several stepgrandchildren, stepgreat-grandchildren, and numerous relatives in Minnesota.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. at St. Mark's Episcopal Church on Thursday, June 18, 2015. A Celebration of Her Life will follow in the Great Hall. Funeral arrangements are by Roller-Chenal Funeral Home, 13801 Chenal Parkway, Little Rock, AR 72211, (501) 224-8300. Online guestbook: www.rollerfuneralhomes.com/chenal.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in loving memory of Joan Louise Hancock Campbell to the University of Minnesota College of Liberal Arts, Pulaski County Humane Society, the Arkansas Repertory Theater, the National Sorority Pi Beta Phi, or an organization of your choice.
