To wrap this up and for anyone searching in the future here is what I did:
Poured a little concrete footer around the perimeter to support the back end of the block. Then used mortar to affix the block. Decided against epoxy for a number of reasons; cost, availability, ability to level, etc. Pics attached.
Appreciate all the suggestions/opinions!
