We have known Mark and Sandy for over 30 years, and had the great pleasure of living next-door to them for 10 years. You couldn't ask for better friends and neighbors. One of our very fondest memories is of the day we brought our twin daughters home for the first time. Driving up Kenneth Drive, there was Mark, out in the middle of the street, in the pouring rain, video-taping our arrival home w/ our new babies. He was having as much fun as we were, and was  happy to share his fatherly advise with us "newbies". Mark was a good, kind and loving soul, and he will be sorely missed by all who loved him.

Mark was born in NY on July 21 and I in Ohio the day before. Not sure when we met, probably in the early fifties. Since our last names were alphetically close we often shared the  same classes and sat close together.  Although we  were not in contact  for over fifty years after High school and only recently communicated, I always considered Mark to be one of my best friends .  I am saddened by his passing and extend my sincere condolences to his loved ones.

I knew Mark when he and Sandy were dating in the 1960s, and attended their wedding.  He was my son's godfather, and Sandy is Alex's godmother.  I remember many days at work or on double dates with Mark and Sandy.  The photo was taken in my apartment before leaving for dinner together, and maybe a movie.  It would have been 1968 or so. . .  We had many happy times together.  I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.

To the family of Mark Bloom
I am a first cousin to Mark.
Our mothers were sisters, and thus many hours were spent together in Salamanca, N Y
Mark and I had a very long talk this spring, and I hoped it helped him through his problems.
the last gathering we had was a visit to the Villages Fl ,when he came to see his brother, Gary.
We had a great time.
May God give all the family the needed strengths to endure these hard times.
Sincerely, 
Cousin and friend, Anne Marie





Mark and  I we're cousins, both born in 1940 in Salamanca, but more than that, we were friends.  Went all through Holy Cross school together, served as alter boys together, and in high school, double dated.  Mark had the car.  I worked at the radio station, and he was down the street at Shraders Drug store.   Mark was king of the Senior Prom our senior year. ...but we followed different paths when I moved to Florida,  I recall our last time together was when Mark  was best man at our wedding in. 1961.

May the angels welcome that smiling soul into paradise,  and may God send his richest blessings  upon his family.  Love ya cousin!

I have know Mark for 25 years.  He was my parents neighbor.  His wife Sandy and my mom went out shopping every Thursday.  Mark was a soft soul.  He was kind and always up for a joke.  Always smiling and concerned about your well being.  Mark will be missed so much.
