Henry Block became an aquaintance of mine when I first met him in 1981 at Rohde & Horne Lumber.  I was struck by his dedication to his job, and his customers.

I learned of his lifes journy in brief pieces of conversation.  He was reluctant to share his history, and seemed to consider it unremarkable.   I disagreed, but did not push him on this.

His travel the USA, and his service in WWII were remarkable accomplishments.  He will always be one of my heros.

Sending my condolances to his surviving family.  You had an amazing Father.

Henry and Hilde were good friends of my parents, John and Eva Englander.  They always remarked on how Henry was able to ski in Europe beyond his 100th birthday!   Dad and Henry shared an important status as fellow Ritchie Boys. Sincerest condolences to the entire family.

I met Henry when he was 102 when I was working as front office personnel for a company that he was a client of. I got to know him pretty well over a few years and often reference him in stories to inspire some elderly clients who are getting depressed with their growing age saying, “I know this one man who is 107 (or whatever age he was at the time of my story) and he still has a sound mind and is very active in life. Life doesn’t stop just because you put an expiration date on yourself. Live every day to the fullest.” That’s what Henry did. He was a kind but strong, tell it like it is, type of person. I enjoyed getting to know him and am inspired by long life he lived. Condolences to his friends and family. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. 

It is with sadness i write to say goodbye to Henry.   My thoughts and  prayers are with the family and all who knew him 

I came to know Henry at 106!  i was a volunteer who would at his request drive him and have dinner with him.  When first meeting him I was told he was legally blind,   I asked if he could see me and he said just a shadow.  I then told him in the eve the was wondering, i looked like Marilyn Monroe!  He did chuckle at that and at many more stories that I would share with him.  

Thankful to God for allowing me to meet Henry and hope that Henry will rest in peace. 🕊
