Greg Block

I'm saddened to hear the news of Greg's passing. I knew him in college, when we played in a band together. Were were kind of folky power-pop guys, and Greg's powerful and energetic drumming and his punk roots were a real game changer. That band had a lot of character, and Greg was an essential reason why.

We had not stayed in touch, and I did not know about his work with the non-profit staffing and its outreach to at risk people. That is really important and innovative, and I am...

I met Greg through work and our daughter, Lizzy. Greg was such an interesting, talented, passionate, wickedly smart, driven person. I really enjoyed my friendship with Greg so much and admired his ability create and give back with such intensity and passion. He was such a good person and friend, and he will be missed.

I worked for Greg and his brothers 25 years ago and have not seen him since. I remember him as a smart, strategic, and fair professional, full of entrepreneurial insight and energy, and I was moved to read that he used his success and wealth to benefit the less fortunate. Please accept my deepest condolences for his tragic passing at such a young age!

He was a wonderful human being who could say that he did all he could to make the world better than he found it. His Mom

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy in behalf of the Block family and friends during this time of bereavement. May you find peace in God who brings comfort to all those who mourn.

I remember meeting him for the first time at our offices to discuss affordable housing, and coming away thinking i'd never met anyone like that in the world of nonprofits, hard nosed and driven as he was. At the time, i did not know what he had in mind. What he eventually created has made a huge difference. My condolences to you, Monica and the kids.

He was a fighter. I admire him for that. God Bless you Greg. I’m sure there will be a project for you up there.

Over the years I wanted to find a way to be a greater friend to him, but we simply lived in two different worlds and I could never bridge the gap.

In fact, we were just recently talking in depth about this. I am so in shock right now and so deeply hurting that I will never have the chance. I will always cherish every golden moment I had with him and forever wish I’d known how to be a better friend in his times of need.

What an amazing testament. I am sending many prayers, and please know I will always be here for your family.
