Herbert Allen Bloom

I can’t believe it’s been two years since Herb passed away. I still remember our days at the
Senior Center enjoying our History Class. He will always be remembered. Henry Friedlander

Dearest Jen, I am sorry I am so late in learning of your loss. May the joyful memories of your father sustain you through the hardest days. All my love and in the bonds, Angela

Harriet and (grand)children. I just learned of Herb's passing from a mutual acquaintance. My deepest condolences to all of you. I had lunch with Herb about 6 months ago, during which he apprised me of his kidney problems.

I've told many people that I considered my 13-year professional relationship with Herb to have been one of the most successful relationships of my life, although it was by no means all goodness and light. I considered him a mentor of sorts; his calmness and morality...

My deepest sympathies to the Bloom family. After retiring almost a dozen years ago. I attended a history class in San Mateo and sat next to Herb for years. He was the officially time keeper for the class. When he couldn't make it, I he would ask me to stand in. We had a great friendship on Tuesdays for years. He was proud of his family and love his wife. I told him I was moving closer to be with my grandchildren. And his health started to fail. I wish him well and hoped for the best. I was...

Herb and my grandmother were first cousins. Phillip and I have never forgotten how he and Harriet welcomed us so warmly when we moved to the Bay Area as newlyweds 22 years ago. I am forever grateful for the many years Herb put together a newsletter for our family, chronicling the Bloom siblings, their children, grandchildren and great-granchildren. What a legacy to preserve. We will miss his annual photograph new year card as well. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him.

My deepest sympathies to the family and friends of a wonderful man. Herb had a wonderful sense of humor, thoughtfulness, a sharp wit, and an intellect that made him a joy to be around. I enjoyed talking golf, law, and politics with a Herb on the many occasions that I came across him at Green Hills. I'll never forget his laugh and I'll never forget Herb.
