He made music tapes for traveling and we can’t forget the bright colored vacation t-shirts with the Bloom name stamped across it for everyone at the theme park to see the Bloom’s are Back!
He made the holidays fun and he loved helping Pam cook the meals, his specialty was macaroni salad. He was an avid sports fan and shared that love of sports with all he knew.
