Our hearts and prayers are with the Bloch family. Knowing Ted was an amazing gift. He was a wise, generous, loving individual totally devoted to his family, community, and religious values. Ted made everyone he touched a better person, and his world a lot better.

My love and prayers go out to Sonia and the family. Ted had a way of really listening to you that made you feel valued. He respected and expected hard work and led by example. I am a better person because of my time at Bloch Lumber. I am saddened to hear of of his death.

Ted and Bloch Lumber were a long time relationship of mine at Rosenthal Collins Group and I felt great sadness hearing of his passing. Ted was a good man. My deepest condolences to the family.

Ted was a tough boss, a great mentor and a warm friend. I'll miss the lively discussions of Silt Town Politics with Ted and Sonia after a great dinner with Ted playing Devil's Advocate to make the discussion more interesting.

Gerry and I send our sincerest condolences. My memory of Ted includes playing tennis with him and his always friendly smile. He was a good and kind man. We are so sorry we won't be here for the funeral or shiva-we are leaving Feb 18 for South America.
