After the untimely death of his father, the family struggled and Dick was fostered by the Armstrongs, who became a second family for him, while his mother completed her nursing training. World War II interrupted his studies at McMaster University. Wanting to support the war effort, he joined the British Navy through a special officer training programme for a select group of 150 Canadians who were loaned to the Royal Navy and who later became known as the Canadian Raleighites. Following his training he served on corvettes, frigates and submarines and during this time met and married Edna. After the war he completed his BSc in Mechanical Engineering at Queen’s University, in the specially-formed post-war class of 1948 1/2. While at Queen’s, Dick served as Vice President of the Engineering Society and President of the Queen’s student government, the Alma Mater Society. Following the war, Dick began his career as a research scientist with the Defence Research Board (DRB), hoping to help prevent further conflicts. His career took the family to many places including Halifax, England -- where he worked on the development of a hydrofoil craft for shore convoy defence at Saunders-Roe on the Isle of Wight -- and Quebec City, where he served as Superintendent of the Armament Engineering Wing. He later served in Ottawa and in diplomatic postings in Washington, as Counsellor Defence Science and Chief of the Defence Research Staff, and in London, where he was Counsellor Defence Science and Scientific Advisor to the High Commissioner.

In 1915 he was commissioned as a second lt. (general service) but soon transferred to the RN as a S.Lt. and served for a time as a Signals officer in the Mediterranean, being the officer in that command to receive the signal informing that fleet the Great War had ended. He went back to work at the Great West Life, married Kathleen Head on Sept 27, 1926 and that union produced five children - including R. Rees Brock QC who practised law with the venerable Winnipeg law firm Thompson Dilts, from 1953 to 1974 before moving to Vancouver. Dad was a founding officer of the RCNVR in Winnipeg in 1923, meeting at first in the local fire hall. In the 1930s, Dad was sent to Montreal to set up the Accident and Health Department for the Great West and became CO of the RCNVR there, creating good relations with CP Steamships, and rising to be the first commander in the reserves. With the outbreak of WW II, he went on active service, going to be Commanding Officer Naval Divisions in Toronto, becoming a captain in 1941 and then commodore in March 1944. At war's end he went back to the Great West in Winnipeg, retired in 1957, and moved out to Vancouver. His health was poor and after much time in Shaughnessy Hospital, he died a shadow of himself in 1964 and was buried with Naval Honours. His wife Kay, lived on until June 1993. "

There being no university-based law school in British Columbia at that time, he attended the Vancouver Law School and articled to G.E. Housser of Walsh Bull and Co. Called to The Bar in 1937, he practiced law in Vancouver prior to enlisting in the RCNVR from 1942 to 1945 serving on the destroyer HMCS Ottawa and commanding the ML 111. In that duty he was commended in the London and Canadian Gazette, "For outstanding zeal, efficiency and devotion to duty while with His Majesty's Canadian Coastal Forces. This Officer at all times displayed high qualities of leadership and example, thereby adding greatly to the efficiency and well-being of the entire Motor Launch Flotilla." This accurately described what was to be his approach to the practice of law and life. In 1946 he became a partner with C.W. Tysoe, ultimately growing the successful and respected firm still affectionately referred to today as Harper Grey Easton. In recognition of his qualities as a barrister and solicitor he was appointed a Queen's Counsel in 1960. While he held the position of Treasurer of the Law Society of British Columbia in 1968, he also served as a Bencher on that governing body for many years before and after. Arthur was instrumental in the creation of the Law Foundation of British Columbia, which was the first in North America, and has been copied by all provinces and states of the USA. The Law Foundation continues to provide significant funding for programs having the objective of improving access to justice. He served as the first Chairman from 1969 to 1975. After the war, Arthur and Darrel lived in Vancouver and in 1954 moved to West Vancouver, becoming founding members of the Capilano Winter Club where they enjoyed curling, and golf at the Capilano Golf & Country Club. They travelled extensively abroad, returning over 20 times to their favourite spots in England and Portugal, as well as trips to New Zealand, Australia, China and Hawaii. Following retirement, winters were spent in Fallbrook, Calif. and summers cruising the B.C. coast. A new adventure began in the early '90s when they moved to the golfing community of Arbutus Ridge on Vancouver Island. In 2002 they returned to West Vancouver, establishing residence in Hollyburn House."
