Would like to know the Hebrew name and especially the father's name. Thanks!

You asked only for the names, but here is a full translation:

Here lies

An honest man walks,

expert in [the study of] Torah and pure in fear of G-d,

modest in all his ways.

Our teacher, the rabbi, Rabbi ZE'EV VOLF son of Reb Nechemiah.

Bloch

He passed away 9 Kislev of the year 5686

May his soul be bound up in the bond of life

=====================================================================
'Reb' is an honorific; his father (Nechemiah) was not a rabbi.

The deceased himself, however, was a rabbi. The abbreviation before his name represents the words "our teacher, the rabbi". This means that he had rabbinical ordination, not necessarily that he was the rabbi of a synagogue or community.

His names, Ze'ev Volf, are Hebrew and Yiddish, respectively, for wolf.

The previous translator missed the row following "He passed away 9 Kislev of the year 5686" it should read:
"He passed away 9 Kislev of the year 5686 at the age of 82"
