Obituary of Louis Bloom
Louis Bloom, age 83, of Joliet, IL, passed away, Friday, December 27, 2024, at his home. He was born July 13, 1941, in Brooklyn, NY, the son of the late Joe and Betty (nee Dibilio) Bloom.
Louis graduated from George Wingate High School in Brooklyn, NY. After high school, he served in the US Air Force. He worked for Harrah’s Casino in Joliet as a security guard for 26 years.
Louis enjoyed the simple things including listening to “the oldies”. He could be found in his favorite recliner watching T.V., cheering on the NY Yankees, or revisiting his favorite movie, “The Warriors”. He could be very particular about food, always looking for the best veal parmesan to critique.
He is survived by his two sons, Louis Bloom of Lockport, IL and Brian Jeffrey Bloom of Lorton, VA; four grandchildren, Aiden and Amanda Bloom, Austin Bloom, and Angelina Muzzarelli; sister, Eileen Rogers; and brother, Ronald Bloom.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Maria Elena Bloom; and his parents.
