Mr. Block had a very dry sense of humor. He would almost count how long it took me to get the punch line. Aside from that, Mr. Block became my friend, my confidant and advisor in the last years. I shall miss being little E. forever.

I will always remember how kind your parents were to me whenever I visited your home during our Madeira years. "Mr. Block" had a gentle, wry wit and a welcoming smile for all. I know he will be dearly missed.

To the family "Luke 20:38" assures us that your love one is in God's memory. Please find comfort in that hope.

I am so sorry for your loss. May Almighty God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this challenging time. (Isaiah 61:1,2) With heart felt sympathy to you and your family
