Always enjoyed coaching with and against Al. He was a great example for his students and players.

My deepest sympathy to the family. Mr. Blocher was a great teacher at Scott. He made learning fun and interesting. One day in class, he challenged me to eat 2 twinkies as fast as possible. As soon as I shoved those twinkies in my mouth, Mr. Blocker pulled out a camera to take a few pictures of the attempt.and I spit twinkie all over the lab table. He had mercy on me by never showing any of my classmates rhe pictures nor publishing the photos in the yearbook. He will be missed.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

In loving memory of our Great (and truly great) Uncle Allen. Love, Emily & Natalie
