Alfred Rosenbloom Obituary

I remember Dr. Rosenbloom when I was a student at ICO in the early 1980s. He was a giant in optometry back then and will forever be a giant in our field.

Sarah,My heart goes out to you and Susie and Alfred in your loss. It was a pleasure to work with you at Marquis Names Dept.in the 70s and learn of the good doctor's work and compare note on Hyde Park which is still my favorite place on earth.Best to all of you, David Wylie

Sarah, Greg and I just learned this morning of Dr. Rosenblooms's passing. Greg was a student at ICO from 1969-1973. We have continued to follow the progress of the Center on Vision and Aging. What a joy that he was able to see it come to fruition. I was active in the "Dames Club." We still remember the lovely parties you and Dr. Rosenbloom hosted in your home for the students and spouses. Greg always respected Al and his professional ethics have been a major influence in Greg's optometric career.

Mrs. Rosenbloom, Alfred Jr. and Susan,

I knew you many years ago as I worked at ICO in the Admissions Office from 1963-1984. Dr. Rosenbloom was always a very gracious, kind and distinguished man. I am very sorry for your loss but what a legacy he has left you. All the best to you as you grieve. Take good care.

As a 1978 graduate of ICO, from Louisville Kentucky,
(grandson of Nathan and Sadie Unrich) I am sorry
to learn of Dr Rosenbloom's passing. I was able to speak to him last year in Chicago briefly.
Condolences from Dr Gary Davidson OD

Dr. Rosenbloom was my professor at ICO. Over the years, we became colleagues and I looked forward to conversing with him at the Academy meetings. He was a great asset to optometric education and the optometric profession. He will be missed.

Dear Sarah.

A loving hug
Susan and George Meschel

To the family my deepest sympathies. May the God of loyal love be with you.

I have such fond memories of Dr. Rosebloom who was kind, thoughtful, dignified and down-to-earth. He thought that everything Sue and I baked in high school was absolutely delicious--especially all the burnt cookies. Our heartfelt condolences are with you all. May good memories bring you consolation.

Sincere condolences to the Rosenbloom family on the loss of a great leader in optometry. Sincerely, Roy Wesley, OD, PhD.

A wonder man who will be very much missed. I enjoyed the years I worked with him at the Chicago Lighthouse.
