Reggie,
 

I know Chip will be greatly missed by many people!

 

Below is Chip's obituary:

Wheadon C. "Chip" Bloch, 54, died Wednesday, August 31, 2011, following a 
traffic accident on Monday. A memorial service will be held Saturday, September 
3, at 1 p.m. at the Second Presbyterian Church, 55th and Oak Streets, in Kansas 
City.

Chip was born in Kansas City on September 14, 1956, the son of Dr. Wheadon 
Bloch and the late Dorothy Bloch, and he lived his life here. He graduated from 
Southwest High School in 1974, and from UMKC. He worked as a chemist for the 
C.J. Paterson Company, until he developed vision problems in 1991. It was while 
working at Alphapointe, a vision rehabilitation program, that he met Sherri, 
whom he married in 2000. Most recently, he worked for the Metropolitan 
Community Colleges, adapting textbooks for students with visual impairments.

Chip was very active at Second Presbyterian, serving as a Deacon of the church, 
liaison for ushers, teacher at Vacation Bible School, and a Wise Man during the 
annual Journey to Bethlehem. He and Sherri also greatly enjoyed season tickets 
to the UMKC Kangaroos basketball games, and visiting national parks out West. 
He adored and amused children near and far, and at nearby tables. Neighborhood 
kids knew that whatever they were selling, he would buy. Chip was quick to find 
humor in almost everything, even if sometimes it took some of us a little 
longer.

Chip is survived by his devoted wife, Sherri, his father, Dr. Wheadon Bloch, 
brother, Jeff, niece Julia and nephew Jackson. He also leaves his stepdaughter, 
Tiffany Bowman, mother-in-law, Maxine McFerren, brother-in-law, Steve, and 
nephew Zachary and niece Emily. He will be greatly missed by his adored 
schnauzers, Gabby Lou and Fletcher.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Second Presbyterian 
Church, 318 E. 55th Street, Kansas City, MO 64113, or the Children's Center for 
the Visually Impaired, 3101 Main Street, Kansas City, MO 64111.

Everyone Take Care!

 

Shirley G.
