To the family of Kenny I was so sorry to hear about his passing but God needed one more angel. I will miss most his sense of humor.I will never forget the many times we would sit at the gambling table and I would try to sell you to the bingo ladies(especially the mean ones,remember get it off the bottom). I always used to tell you you couldnt count and then you would remind me that we both were Westminster Owls. I also remember the many nights we got stuck in the kitchen at the fire hall I used to tell you your food stunk but Im still here. Did you ever go pick up the irish creme that lady requested? Although I remember we didnt call her a lady. LOL. I will miss you I just wish I would have picked up the phone or stopped in. The many memories we have shared will always be in heart I will never forget. We have laughed together and cried together and even got mad together. I hope you find that bingo hall in the sky my grandparents are probably there. Save me a seat one day my number will be called and we will meet again. Another ANGEL has gone to heaven and Im glad that he was my friend. Dont forget the irish creme!

To the family and friends on Ken...

I know that Ken is definitely in a much better place with no more pain and suffering. I'll miss Ken's sense of humor and his unselfish dedication that he had for his community and friends. We all know his health has been declining for years, however I've never heard him complain one time. He had to overcome obstacles and pain everyday in his life, however most of us never knew about it. Even in the past few weeks as his health declined even more, his mind, spirit and charm was never affected. That makes me appreciate everything I have even more.

As Fire Chief during Ken's reign as President, it was a priledge and honor to work him. We worked very closely together and had several big obstacles that we had to work through together for the best interest of the organziation. Their was no doubt that his heart was in the right place. We became very close friends during that time.

I'll miss the once or twice a week phone calls just to chat and catch up. I'll miss coming to you for your opinion and guidenance on issues within the fire department. You always offered an opinion from a different angle than anyone else would have thought of. I admired that the most.

My tears are a mix of saddness and joy. Saddness because we'll all miss you and joy because I know you're home and no longer suffering.

To the family members and friends of Mr. Ken Bloom, To the family of Ken, It's with heart felt sympathy that I send my condolences to your family. I was fortunate enough to have known Ken for almost 20 years through the Parkville Fire Co. Ken was a guy who would tell you just what he thought and didn't really mind if you liked it or not you always knew where he stood on the topic. Ken will be greatly missed by all, this is the type of person who you just cann't replace with somoneelse, it would take about 3 or 4 people to do the jobs that Ken did and at the level at what he did those jobs. Ken although not physically with us anymore still will be with us in sprit at every company meeting and at every bingo. Ken was always willing to help anyone. I know as treasurer of the fire dept. I asked him for help on numerous occasions, since he knew how to use the software and computers and I didn't. Ken may not have had a lot but he had a heart that would swallowed the world, For Ken had a heart of gold. Ken lived for the fire department and enjoyed his time there even when he was complaining from time to time. He looked forward to seeing the regular crowd at bingo who he became such close friends with. Ken gave a lot to the fire dept. even as his health was failing you saw him there on friday night just two weeks before his passing,doing what he loved to do. God was truely blessed this week when he brought Ken into his house and we were all blessed for knowing him. Lets not be saddened by Kens passing but celebrate the fact that we knew a person that was so giving and that we knew Ken Bloom. Lets celebrate his memories and all the times that we shared with him, Ken will be greatly missed by all but his memory will live with us forever. God bless you Ken!
Your brother in firefighting
