James L. BLUMBERG Sr.

I will never forget "Bloomer's outgoing and caring personality. Throughout high school, he was my best friend's boyfriend--and my boyfriend's (Rick J.) best friend! That had each others' backs, and others' too. My brother, Roger, shares a story about how they sort of picked him up by the elbows, as he attempted to deck St. Thomas senior Tommy K. Apparently, as a freshman; you just didn't mess with seniors--if you wanted to live through the next four years!! Bloomer had some chops in many...

Truly one of the greatest characters to have ever attended St Thomas Academy in the class of '69. Jim had everyone around him in stitches all the time. Athlete, trainer, cheerleader, prankster and lastly - student. He had a great time and was friend to everybody.

To the family, I am sorry to hear the news about your loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this challenging time. Isaiah 61:1,2
