Peter Patrick Bloch died in his sleep Saturday evening, July 31, after battling health problems for many years. Peter, the first child of David P. Bloch and Jacqueline deGoumois, was born in Queens, NY on June 29, 1955. He moved to Austin with his family in 1961. His inquisitive mind was evident from the time he finished reading the entire World Book Encyclopedia at age 7. Peter was a graduate of Stephen F. Austin High School. He worked as an artist and jewelry designer after attending the Kansas City Art Institute in Missouri. His recent hobbies included translating his artwork into computer graphics. His father, David Bloch, preceded Peter in death in 1986. He is survived by his mother, Jackie Bloch; sister, Heidi Bloch; son, Travis Bloch; former spouse, Debbie Bloch of Austin; son, Adam Galen Auxier-Bloch and Yvonne Auxier of Seattle, WA; sister, Deirdre Bloch Barlaz and family of Raleigh, NC. He is also survived by good friends, Nici Willoz and Bill Anderson. Services will be 11:00 AM on Monday, August 9, 2004, at Wilke-Clay-Fish Funeral Home. Private interment will follow at Austin Memorial Park. For those wishing to make a donation, Peters family knows that he would have appreciated support for local radio station KUT or for National Public Radio, as he was an avid listener.
