45 years of work comes to an end for one of Kansas City’s most famous businessmen. Henry Bloch is stepping down in September from his position as chairman at H and R Block. Bloch and his brother, Richard, had a bookkeeping business that branched-out into tax refunds. They originally charged $5 a return. Henry Bloch says there was no “magic moment” over the last several decades, just years of hard work. H and R Block now has offices in several nations; its the 6th largest retailer in the world.
