I'm so sorry about your loss, and that I wasn't able to make it to the wake. I tried my hardest to find it but I kept getting lost.

I'm also sorry that this is the reason why I am talking to you, i wish it could have been for any other reason and not a death in your family. If you need anything just call.

The Navadomskis Family..

The news of Mike's passing came as a shock, even greater was the shock of finding out that he was ill. Mike delivered our mail in Tinley Park and pizza to my home in Chicago for 6 years and every time I saw him, rain or shine he was happy, friendly and smiling. He worked so hard yet never appeared to be tired or to have ever had a bad day. Obviously he treasured life and what it offered but I truly believe that his motivation was his children. It was obvious that the loves of his life were his daughters, when he spoke of them his entire face lite up. There are some people in this life that you meet and "just know" are good people, Mike Bloom was one of those people. My condolences to his family and friends, especially to his girls, your father was a very good man, a hardworker and touched many peoples lives with his thoughtfullness and kindness.

Mike will be missed

I grew up with Mikes children back on 72nd street and will never forget him. Mike was a great dad and such a wonderful person to know. He gave me my best friend, and for that I will always be thankful. I will always remember him eating speghetti-o's out of the pot, the amazing fireworks on the 4th of July, and the awsome movies he brought home with him years ago. (Kathy, Jen, Chrissy, anything you need, you know how to get a hold of me.)

Forever rememberd,

Loved always,

Kara Ann
