Born March 13th, 1928 in Haaren, Aachen, Germany, to Jacob and Bettina Frohwein, he emigrated to the United States in March, 1938 with his family, during the rise of Nazi Germany. He settled with his parents and his sister Ilse in Northeast Philadelphia. His father found work as a butcher and meat cutter, and later his parents opened a General Store on Mascher St in Northeast Philly. He graduated from Olney High School as Valedictorian in 1946. He worked a myriad of jobs including a stint at Allied Chemical Plant, and as a TastyKake delivery man. He then attended Temple University as a Chemistry major, and he also served in the U.S. Army National Guard from 1950 to 1952, receiving an honorable discharge as a result of fracturing his legs while skiing on leave in Germany.
He attended Temple University School of Medicine, and married the love of his life, Beverly Rubin, in December of 1956. He graduated from Temple Medical School in 1957, in the top ten percent of his class, and interned at Pennsylvania General Hospital. He then went on to do his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Temple University Hospital. Following completion of his residency program, he moved to Vineland, NJ and served as cofounder of the first dedicated OB/GYN practice in the City, known as Vineland Obstetrical and Gynecological Professional Association, or VOGPA. He was a trusted and beloved OB/GYN physician in Vineland for over 35 years, having delivered over 10,000 local children in his long and successful career. Outside of his busy medical practice, he was an avid scuba diver, traveler, sailor, tennis player and golfer, as well as a busy father to his three sons. He loved traveling, movies, seeking out interesting cuisines, and his beloved Philadelphia Eagles. He was also a voracious reader and enjoyed playing bridge.

Harold Block
Harold M. Block, 97, formerly of Vineland and most recently of Marlton, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on January 3, 2026, surrounded by family. Harold, son of the late Dora and Irwin Block of Vineland, was the beloved husband of Claire (Heimann), with whom he shared 71 years of marriage. Together, they built a life rooted in family, community, and quiet generosity.
He was a devoted father to Irwin Block (Patricia), Bobbi LeVine (Rick, z”l), Lisa Weiser (Ricky), and Allen Block (Susan); a proud grandfather of eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, and beloved uncle to Ileen Branderbit and David Branderbit (Gina). He is predeceased by his sister Phyllis Branderbit (Bernie).
A man of action rather than words, Harold showed his love by being there when it mattered most. He stepped in without fanfare, solved problems, and took care of what needed to be done, often before anyone had to ask. Whether helping a child navigate the process of buying a home or quietly handling important details others didn’t see, he was the person everyone relied on.
Harold built a long and successful career in real estate, both as a real estate broker and landlord. He served for many years as President of the Cumberland County Board of Realtors and was a Century 21 franchise owner.
He was active for many years in synagogue life, first at Sons of Jacob Congregation and later at Beth Israel Congregation in Vineland.
Above all else, Harold was known as the provider and protector. He leaves behind the legacy of a devoted husband, a loving father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, and a steady presence whose influence lives on through the family he protected and provided for.
Donations in Harold’s memory may be made to Beth Israel Congregation, 1015 East Park Avenue. Vineland, NJ 08360 or Chevra Kadisha of Alliance, P.O. Box 934, Vineland, NJ 08362.
