Chris Bloch Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Chris was everyone's best friend. He never let anyone's birthday be forgotten and we are sure he prevented countless arguments by reminding and congratulating anniversaries. Jokes and laughter were always plentiful as he made sure everyone felt laughter and love.
He was honored to help train and coach so many people with the safety and target pistol classes in Mt. Lebanon for many decades. A lifetime NRA member and a Sons of the American Legion, Post 490 in Castle Shannon, he will be missed greatly by so many people from all walks of life.
A celebration of his life will be announced at a later date.

I first met Chris as a student in my History class and later became his friend. We often conversed about the people and events that we remembered from Mellon Junior High School, and, of course, firearms. His extensive knowledge and on-the-range skill provided me with the answers to many questions related to the shooting sports; I frequently referred other friends to seek out Chris for advice as well. Our conversations ranged from families to politics to an extensive breadth of topics, and revealed Chris to be a friend I always enjoyed talking with.
His passing makes the world a lesser place for me and many others!

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sunshine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
I will deeply miss you!!!

My husband always went to Chris while at work, he would be gone for hours. Chris and Bobby would talk guns, rights, and personal issues. Chris was always willing to help. Bobby and Chris would text back and forth with jokes. Bobby would always ask for Chris everytime when wanting info on guns. Chris always asked how I was, and Isabelle (my cat) was doing. I know he is in heaven with our Lord. He was a great man. Kindness and patience always came from him.
Truly missed, forever in our hearts. Bobby and Kathy Pallatto.
