The Unofficial Furman Football Page

I just learned that two of Dr Block's grandsons were injured in a car accident earlier this week. One of them is in bad shape in the hospital here in Greenville.

I posted this here as Dr Block is a big supporter of our basketball program; he and his wife rarely miss a game. The older fans may recall he did bball radio commentary back in the day. Very close to Coach Richey and the program.

Prayers up.

Dr. Block has always been a GREAT supporter of ALL Furman sports and, even more importantly, a GREAT supporter of ALL Furman Student Athletes for many, many years.

DEFINITELY Prayin’ up for these young men & the family!!!

Yes I remember when he did the color on basketball broadcasts. Prayers.

He is also an outstanding Professor of History.

Big fan of Dr. Block - thoughts and prayers…

He wore a lot hats at Furman including AD.

Dr Block was also an outstanding history professor. Tough but very fair, and a good lecturer.

One of my favorite professors here at Furman. First semester freshman year back in 1971 I answered a question correctly and he gave me the nickname "Ducats." To this very day he still calls me that and when I see him he will always be called "Dr. Block." Fine man, lovely family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone.

Prayers go out to Dr. Block and his family...I also remember when he did color for basketball games...Did a good job.

One of my favorite profs at FU, too.

I would also like to mention my former golf teammate Jasper "Jay" Huff of Greenville died a couple weeks ago after a 16 year battle with brain cancer. Jay played on 3 FU SoCon Championship golf teams '75,'76,and '77. He was also an assistant golf pro at Greenville Country Club back in the late '70's and early '80's. He was one of the finest human beings on God's green earth.

One of the grandsons, Grant Harrelson, died last night, as did the female passenger.

2020 can't end soon enough. Prayers for Dr. Block's family!

The young man who passed was also the grandson of George Harrelson, who coached at Furman, Travelers Rest, JL Mann, and Blue Ridge.

Prayers for the families.
