Arthur BlockThe Honorable Arthur S. Block (Retired) From the time he was in first grade, Judge Arthur S. Block (Retired) knew what he wanted to be when he grew up. He would say unhesitatingly, "I want to be a Lawyer." And a damn good one he became. It is with great sadness we announce the passing...

Judge Block was such a pleasure to appear in front of and to share some laughs during down time, or when he was reading over search warrant/arrest warrants in his chambers.
He had such and infectious smile and laugh. He loved walking over to Palm Springs PD to visit or go on a ride-a-long.
He acted like a big kid. It was so fun to watch him act like he was just "one of us". He never acted better than us, because he was a judge, he was down to earth and knew how to be respectful...

As CHP officer I had the honor of appearing before Judge Block many times. He was always fair to everyone and when the opportunity presented itself for a good laugh he was the first one to laugh. Never once did I see him raise his voice but always acted as the professional that he truly was. The legal profession lost a great colleague and I'm sure he was friend to all that he worked with. God' blessing to all of the Block family. I am truly sorry for your loss.
