At SPAWAR I knew Fred and respected him both professionally and personally. Fred was a very dedicated engineer. I am sorry I didn't know him better.

My condolences to the Block family. I didn't know Mr. Block as long as others as I came to NISE East in 1994. Fred, as a Department Head, was instrumental in guiding this newby in the real world of the standup of a new command. The trio of Fred, Giles and Gus offered the wisdom of their years of experience tinged with a sense of humor that is a rare gift in a military/civilian workplace.

In the Navy tradition, fair winds and following seas, Mr. Block!

It never ceases to amaze me just how lucky I was to have been hired by Fred Block. I had no reason to expect such a painstaking mentor, even less so true a friend. I will miss him greatly. It was a privilege to have known him.

My condolences to the family.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. From the first day that I met Fred in 1974, he became a mentor and great friend. He had such a huge impact on many lives. I will certainly miss his kindness and friendship, but I will alway cherish the many memories that I shared with him.

Rest in peace.

It is hard for me to express my feelings upon hearing of the passing of my very good friend and coworker Fred. As I reflect upon the memories I have of Fred, it is more of a teacher - student relationship. He had so much to offer, I learned a great deal from this man. My family sends their condolences.
